Problem was: the fallback language was Dutch. Now it is English. Should make more people happy.
And why only 2 languages when I can add 22? In different locales? Ok.
So now the clock supports English, Dutch, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Arabic, Portuguese, Russian, Danish, Norwegian, Swedish, Finnish, Chinese (Mandarin), Japanese, Polish, Czech, Ukrainian, Lithuanian, Slovenian, Estonian and Icelandic.
Should cover 3 billion people worldwide.

As a bonus, I added a bunch of features like Stopwatch, Focus mode, World clocks converter and Daylight saving time.
AI is not very good at animations yet, but to be honest I find the various animation APIs e.g. in CSS also quite convoluted and difficult to use even for human programmers. It's like the abstractions are wrong.
The link is indeed to a clock (a nice one).

No! That is a lie. Clocks are everywhere already. Did not need it at all.
Also don't have time to build a clock. Imagine what I could have done with all that precious time spent on flip clocks, station clocks, you name it. I could have taught my son how to tell time.
Wait!
Did you build a really fancy flip clock!? Yes! I really like that one! That is not a lie.
Phone in landscape mode during cooking? Sure. Timeboxing during study. Alright alright.
But why did you (woow!) took all the effort to make the favicon a realtime clock? Did your agent do it? Didn't read the memo that token-maxing is so 2025?
Well, am I crazy? I liked building it anyway.
