[BUG] Unable to create hints in different languages.

April 01 at 13:40

Hi,

I would like to create bilingual hints in both English and Korean for some words I encounter.

English and Korean are both set as my dictionary languages and I can see user-generated meanings for both languages as well.

However when I come across an unknown word, I am able to type or save the English definition, but when I click on the flag icon and select Korean from the dropdown menu to input a Korean definition for the same word, nothing happens.

If I remember correctly, in v4 there was a small arrow under the flag icon and you could then input definitions in other languages as well (you could basically switch between the two), but the arrow is gone in v5.

Am I missing something? How can we create bilingual meanings for individual words?

Since you have not yet received a reply, I will explain what I have been doing to get around this problem.

1. Change your "English translation" flag to "Korean".

2. Change your "English translation" to your "Korean translation".

3. Go back to the "flag drop-down" and re-select the "English translation".

The panel view may jump around in weird ways, or appear not to work, but just check up and down the panel for the changes.

Hopefully, someone can provide a better way, or a fix will be done.

Thank you very much for your help. I hope this gets fixed. It's a little frustrating that we are now having problems with something that was working very well before.

I posted something similar yesterday. I'm trying to create hints in 4 differente languages, and sometimes one or two of them just don't work. It is not always the same languages; it is quite random. I hope they can fix it.
