Quick glance in this case: took a couple second snapshot on the Performance tab and saw a lot of React related calls.

> That said, is there something wrong with the translations offered? I think in French hello = "bonjour" and hi = "salut"... not sure where "bonjours" and "salutations" came from.
The Italian "auguri" means "best wishes"; "chiamatemi" means "call me". Neither is a plausible translation of "hello". The obvious one, "ciao", is missing.

No, bonjours exists (it's simply the plural form of bonjour used as a noun) but the contexts it is used are very very infrequent so it's weird to find it in that list.
Compare "I said my hellos and goodbyes." in English. It's definitely a word, just so uncommon as to be largely irrelevant in most practical contexts.

#36Can something like this be done to compare/translate subsequences COVID genetic code to SARS and other virus genetic codes. Would be interesting how much overlap there is. And would further the research into where it came from. Full genome of COVID-19 is available: https://www.snapgene.com/resources/coronavirus-resources/?re...
Bioinformaticists have been able to do that with traditional algorithms for years (dynamic programming gets you a long way to compute an edit distance for example). It is probably the first thing that was done once the COVID-19 genome was made public. A quick googling gave me that summary of the results: https://www.news-medical.net/health/How-Does-the-SARS-Virus-...

BLAST (=Basic Local Alignment Search Tool) is one common version, and the NIH'S NCBI has a variety of nice online tools here: https://blast.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Blast.cgi
Note that it does take a little bit of background knowledge to interpret:some motifs are just really common, others are shared.
