Please fix missing links in the following page:

https://online.coolestprojects.org/help-japanese

Missing links:
1. https://online.coolestprojects/take-part -> domain should end with “org”
2. https://online.coolestprojects/categories-japanese -> ditto

Background: I’m a volunteer translator helped to translate the Coolest Projects Categories page into Japanese and found the missing links when I see it on the published website.
