The English looks great, thanks!
Question, is it normal that when some strings are missing, trying to serve the Spanish or French interface just fails to compile? I get these error messages, which are really not saying to me "translate some missing strings"!

./packages/ngx-web-component/src/lib/ngx-web-component.module.ts:5:0-20 - Error: export 'defineCustomElements' (imported as 'defineCustomElements') was not found in '@readalongs/web-component/loader' (module has no exports)

./packages/studio-web/src/app/app.module.ts:19:0-20 - Error: export 'defineCustomElements' (imported as 'defineCustomElements') was not found in '@readalongs/web-component/loader' (module has no exports)

Bug: the Tour is broken in Step 2. Once I get to the second "Play your readalong" shepherd step, it just gives me a greyed out screen without the next step or any way to continue. I have to reload the whole page to recover.

No, I don't get that at all - this sounds like a problem with nx/the web component not being installed properly. I get these messages:

Weird. I'll look into this

@joanise - I think I fixed the tour issue here: 00e026e but I have no idea why it came up in this PR - it should have been an issue before too, but it appears to work on the site

All I can say is that it works in origin/main but not in this branch. When I played with it, I did not understand why and why not, so I figured I'd just leave a note here. Glad you figured it out!

The first "Edit your ReadAlong" shepherd step is no longer attached to Title/Subtitle the way it used to be, did some element change name or id?

It should be as of 00e026e - have you tried it since then?

I thought I had, but I must have been on the wrong branch when I tested, it works fine now.

Currently working on the French translation for this PR.

The contact us link embedded in the tour is also broken. It ends up trying to open http://localhost:4200/%7B%7B%20contactLink%20%7D%7D instead of the intended mailto: target.
I can fix it by hard-coding <a href="mailto:readalong.studio@gmail.com"> in shepherd.steps.ts but it would of course be nicer to maintain the parameterization we had with the e-mail address coming ultimately from package.json as it does elsewhere.

[joanise]

I've now made some fixes on the English, a hack so I could spin up the es and fr interface on my machine again, and a complete draft of the French translations.
TODO:

• Spanish translations
• fix the contact link in the tour

[joanise]

And, a complete first draft of the Spanish translations is now in too.
@roedoejet can you check the contactLink in the shepherd tour, and ask for a review of the Spanish text?
@dhdaines I think you were willing to review my French text, that would be helpful please.

[joanise]

Doh, I fixed the messages for the fixed tour yesterday, but forgot to push. This PR now just needs native speaker review and can get merged.
