The email I got for the confirmation step was entirely in Korean, just fyi.

I shared bloffy with a few people I volunteer with, since we contribute to a side-by-side markdown/css editor with a live preview as well (though not for blogging).

I think you should make clear that the "Translation" option, to create additional pages for translations, doesn't actually do the translation for you. It just creates a subpage for a translation.

One annoying thing I'm finding is that iOS/MacOS autocorrects `bloffy` into `bloody` at every chance it gets.

The confirmation email is no longer sent in Korean. It now comes in the language of the site you signed up from. Thanks for catching it!

Thank you so much for the feedback.

The confirmation email being sent in Korean does look like a real bug. I had set English as the default, but it seems I missed this part. Thanks for pointing it out.

You're right that the word "Translation" can be misleading. For now, translations are meant to be done manually, but I'm also considering automatic translation in the future. Automatic translation can change the meaning you want to convey, so I'd still recommend translating posts yourself. But for convenience, I'm thinking about adding automatic translation.

Thanks again.
