Read the following instructions/guide carefully

Solutions for all Across clues and five (5) Down clues are longer than their grid lights. The Enums are indicated in the brackets.

Each of these solutions contain French/German/English numbers, which must be digitally transformed and entered in the grid (in one case twice).
All down clues have an extra letter/character, which is to be ignored for wordplay/definition. These characters read together in clue order give two examples for grid entry of all the Across & five longer Down clues. Each grid light takes only one character.
