English Translation ~upd~ - Lola Lago Detective
The Lola Lago series, written primarily by and Neus Sans , was created as a tool for Spanish as a Foreign Language (ELE). Because the core purpose is language immersion, full-text English translations are not commercially published.

You’re welcome, everyone.
Localhost is good for testing websites before launch.
Thanks Lisa-Robyn, I have installed it but having some tech issues that can’t seem to resolve with their knowledgebase and on the free version there is no obvious support. Am waiting in anticipation of your subsequent articles, when might they be? Thanks so much in advance. Natalie
Hi Lisa, thanks for the article, really useful. Do you know if the upgrade to a premium account is a simple process of adding a license key once purchased? Or do you need to download and install a completely different version of DesktopServer? I can’t see an answer to that question on the ServerPress site.
Awesome Lisa. Having stumbled across DesktopServer through Tim Strifler, I feel like I have been given the keys to the WP equivalent of a Ferrari. So sad that I’ve spent 3 years of my life waiting for the WP backend to load over slow wifi connections all over the globe. Speed is king.
Excelent?? It works with Ubuntu?
not sure about that one, you may want to contact Ubuntu or Serverpress directly regarding this.
A BIG THANK YOU! I have been trying to figure out how I can escape from the maddening crowd in the spring, summer and Autumn yet still keep clients happy with delivery schedules. You are a dream come true as you have showed me the way 🙂
Thanks Alan! Hope all goes well with the new work flow 🙂
Fab article. Thanks so much. I have been wondering about this for a while. I am definitely going to try it out. Keep up the good work 😉
