Hmm. I can't fault the translations, as i'm not a linguist, but there are several glaring errors at the bottom of the page, regarding dates.

90 inch 1984-now

The 90 has a wheelbase of 93 inches, I believe, but it's certainly not

90 inches

101 inch Built 1962-1966 (?) Forward Control

101 FC was not built in 1962, they were built in 1972 to 1978
109 inch Built 1956-1958 (SI), 1958-1961 (SII), 1961-1971 (SIIA), 1971-1985

(SIII + SIIIB)

There is no such thing as a S3B. There was however, a SIIA FC 109in (1963-66) and a SIIB FC, which had a 110in wheelbase (1966-1972)

This does not give me much confidence in the translations!

Also missed off the 130 (it's just a 127 that was renamed when the started with the defender name.

And I though the 90 started the same year as the 110 in 1983?

The year after I think... 110 was definitely first, which was pretty odd looking back at it.

My 110 was a 1984 and I knew a chap with a 1985 90, I had it in my mind that both 90 and 110 started in 1983.. ah well, you lives and you learns ;o)
