Please be aware that "actual" and "aktuell" are false friends in German
and English.  I suspect that you mean "current" here.

Some English speakers will be aware of this usage error, others won't,
and "es kann mach dem irritieren".[1]  ;-)

It can be especially confusing in contexts where something "actual" has
a "virtual" counterpart.
