Doesn't work. Need Spanish diacritical marks. If Spanish is the second or third language in the world, this should be easier, shouldn't it?

I can't get to work. Will Afrikaans be added soon for circumflexed vowels?

Elizabeth van den Berg, 2024-05-08

Just as all the others say, and same in the YouTube comments, this extension simply doesn't work. Removing.
