You might have a non-English word for those from 10 to 19 inclusive, but in English a teenager must be 13 to 19 inclusive.

There is a problem here. In some places, you can be an adult at 16 or 18. In that case, you are an adult and not a teenager even though you are in your teens. So what do you call someone who is an adult at 18? When I was 18, I was a full adult. I didn't have to wait for 21 to be a full adult. I was not a teenager at 18 because I was an adult.
And while on the subject of age labels, young adult for books is wrong. YA means for teens. But, you cannot be a YA unless you are an adult. You are either an adult or you are not. So the term YA is worthless.
And yo get back on topic, I hope Calibre has another 10 very good years.
