Oh really? I thought I had fixed that. maybe it’s a caching issue and the change will arrive on your device with a delay.
What device are you using and what browser? That helps me if the issue is still not fixed.
Glad you noticed the changes. So much to do still, but step by step I am getting there.

Does the translation mean capable of being picked up. I can’t think of a sentence with ‘capable of picking up’ in it.
