If I add edits to a sentence (Translation, Pronunciation, Notes, Hint or Alternative answers), are they all only visible to me? I have been hesitant because I didn’t know if I would be triggering some sort of review or if it pops up as a comment in the discussion board.
Hello Dac,
the changes do only occur for ouy (your account).
Shared Collections might be an exception, I haven’t used them so far.

Thanks, Markus … that’s what I was hoping
Thanks for asking that. I have corrected one or two and was a bit worried about appearing “know-it-all”. Best to you.
That’s a question that I had been intending to ask as well. If there is something that I know is wrong (rare, but it happens), or something which is missing an alternative translation, I flag it rather than just correcting it and let Mike and the (System) Mechanics take care of it.
I do the same with pronunciation, in part because I wouldn’t have a clue how to change that anyway.
Ciao LuciusVorenusX - thanks, that’s a better idea. Now to discover the flagging option. Have a good week. F.
That is a good idea. Thanks @LuciusVorenusX.
The main thing that I want to do is to put an alternative (although I am not sure how/if that alternative is used yet). I find that for many sentences, the translation is unnecessarily colloquial when the literal translation would have been perfectly fine. Of course, I am referring to translations into English. That may not be the case with other languages.
Hi dac573. “Call the cops!” and “Hi buddy!” are real cute favourites
It’s certainly helpful to change the sentences into something YOU understand.
I can’t think of many examples right now, one being:
Ladybird (Ladybug here in the US) = la mariquita in Spanish.
I didn’t know what a ladybird was!
