You obviously don't use a Chrome browser (auto translate)What? It isn't Spanish for "useful Camino information found here - but in Spanish only"?!
I do, and often have it translate. But that doesn't change the language the site is published in. As is often evidenced by place names in the Chrome translation.You obviously don't use a Chrome browser (auto translate)
Well it 'is' a Spanish site, in SpainI do, and often have it translate. But that doesn't change the language the site is published in. As is often evidenced by place names in the Chrome translation.
That's an important point - it can be confusing if you view the names of places or businesses on the translated page. I realized this the first time using Gronze when I was trying to figure out where the heck "queen bridge" was...I often turn off the translation as it doesn't help when looking for place names!
I wasn't complaining that it was in Spanish only in post #3. I was just noting the fact, unlike most of the other resources we refer people to (not surprising since this is an English language site). If you saw the ?! as resulting from it being in Spanish only, that wasn't the intent. The ?! was that the word "gronze" apparently didn't mean what I suggested.Well it 'is' a Spanish site, in Spain
Or maybe I'm missing your point?

We still have pages on our business site in Thai, Vietnamese, Mandarin...
Back in the days before auto translate.
To say it was an 'pain' to maintain would be a massive understatement.
Only big businesses do it these days I think, and even then likely use AI or something.

Take no notice of the Gronze accomodation reviews.
On the Le Puy route we wrote an adverse review about a Gite where we found dirty sheets, pillows and quite a few other things that needed improvement.
Gronze deleted my review,
We met a German woman a few days later who stayed at the same Gite but on a different date.
Gronze deleted her review and changed the Gite information page so no-one could leave any further reviews.
By all means use Gronze but going by what happened to our reviews, beware.
At the time we gave the appropriate explanations for the reason why the two reviews were deleted.Take no notice of the Gronze accomodation reviews.

Joan - it looks like my review was reinstated at some time but no-one from Gronze told me it has been reinstated and I wasn’t any wiser.At the time we gave the appropriate explanations for the reason why the two reviews were deleted.
It’s one of several long trails.It’s French. For the route number 11 through the Pyrenees. GR Onze. It’s on maps.
Is there some way to support the site (financially), because it really deserves it?I like gronze (Catalan onze, as @jungleboy explained, not French) very much indeed. There's always a small sigh of relief when I move from a camino not fully covered by gronze (Castellano-Aragonés, Lana, Olvidado, Allerano, CZP etc) to one that is, like joining the Madrid last week.
The "Al loro" section almost always has something surprising, amusing, useful or just odd and worth reading.
