Sorry for not reading it first.
I still think it's better to look up what you're trying to do first, and
maybe rather than list how to do it in all languages, you could have the
option to choose your source language and target language, and see how
it's done side-by-side along with user-contributed notes specific to the
selection of source+target languages.
