Wrong translation in a Polish course

Cindy1100

Hi Neoncube,

I just started today, trying out this site, so I thought I would start with the lv 1 official Polish course from Memrise (which I have done zillions of times on Memrise). I'm doing the courses from English to Polish and there are a few words so far that don't have the right Polish translations. For example, "No, thank you" should be "Nie, dziękuję", but it shows the answer as just "Nie". There's another one so far like that and possibly more, that I haven't gotten to.

I appreciate all of your effort going into this site, with the fact that Memrise has decided to pull the plug on the old format and the community courses. Thanks very much. 🙂

Cindy1100 Hi Cindy1100,

Thanks for letting me know! 🙂

This is probably because My Little Word Land uses commas to separate multiple possible definitions. (e.g. "hot,warm").

I'll have to think about this a bit. Maybe this is why Memrise switched to using semicolons as separators, instead of commas 🙂

Does this mean that I can't use sentences with commas in questions or answers?
Which punctuation marks can be used “just as punctuation marks only”?

Thanks :-)

@irridmemorizza Currently, the only special character is commas, which are used as separators, but I'm thinking about switching this to semicolons, which I think would align with how Memrise does it 🙂

We're currently discussing this via this topic: https://forum.mylittlewordland.com/d/19-synonyms-separator

@neoncube All right, thanks a lot. :-)

irridmemorizza If you're creating a course, you'll now need to use semicolons to separate synonyms. See https://forum.mylittlewordland.com/d/36-synonyms-now-separated-by-semicolons-instead-of-commas for more details 🙂

If this change broke any of your courses, please let me know and I should be able to apply an automated fix 🙂

@Cindy1100 This should now be fixed! 🙂
