Creating new lingQ problem

A strange problem when trying to create a LingQ on a sentence in “PortugueseLingQ, #12 Susana and Martim talk about Lisbon”.

At the start of the third paragraph there is the text “O Bairro Alto é um dos pontos emblemáticos da cidade de Lisboa, em primeiro lugar porque, pela sua, pelas características das ruas e das casas.” If you try to create a LingQ on the whole sentence you get a ‘Creating new LingQ’ message but it hangs there & never gets to ‘Searching dictionary’ message and so never creates a LingQ. I only wanted to create a LingQ on such a long sentence because I wanted to ‘ask the tutor’ about it.

If you select the whole sentence but without the first O everything works fine. If you shorten the sentence & just use, for example, “O Bairro Alto é um dos pontos emblemáticos da cidade de Lisboa, em primeiro lugar porque,” again LingQ creation hangs but “Bairro Alto é um dos pontos emblemáticos da cidade de Lisboa, em primeiro lugar porque,” works fine.

Not really a problem for me but it would seem to be a bug that might cause problems for others or elsewhere in other tests.

Thanks for letting us know, Bandit. We’re looking into it.

Hi Bandit,

This should now be fixed. Please let us know if you’re still having problems.

Hi Mark. Yes, that looks good - well fairly good anyway. A new issue seems to have crept in, whether it was due to this fix or not I don’t know. It’s of no real consequence but if you select (I think this is right) anywhere between 80 & 100 characters Babylon translator gives a 500 server error!!

Thanks, Bandit. We’ll check that.
