🔧 Fix this

Ideas a builder, maker or community group could start on:

  1. A browser extension that validates and locks specific language fields to prevent cross-language data overwriting.
  2. A dedicated profile management dashboard that displays side-by-side views of multilingual profile versions for easier auditing.
  3. A bulk export/import tool that allows users to manage localized profile data in structured files to avoid UI-based synchronization bugs.
