It would be nice to get back the function of editing - the lessons where I wanted to correct a few little things didn’t let themselves be saved. Apparently I had to complete some field or other (which I couldn’t find).
If this is an issue related to the recent malicious spamming episodes, please take your time to fix it. It would be very useful, though, to be able to have all my pencils back. (And I know it’s Easter, so there really is no pressure . . .)
@SanneT - We’re still doing some work on the import lesson page, but I’m not sure whether we’re aware of this specific issue. Would you let us know what error message is showing when you try to make corrections in shared lessons?
This is the only lesson I can remember Login - LingQ (but there were others, one of them in the French library).
In the lesson there are three occurrences of a wrong “its”. When I just corrected one of them to see whether I could save my work, the following message came up:
Please correct the following error: • Field “collection”: Select a valid choice. 20014 is not one of the available choices.
Edited link because it now leads directly to the Edit Lesson page.
Hi Alex
I also tried to edit at least 2 lessons where typos were detected but got a similar message: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/1028855/lingq/edit_lesson_error.png
I suppose collection refers to course, but the problem is that in the dropdown I can only find the courses that I created.
These are the lessons I tried to edit:
I would like to contribute by adding Russian translations to Finnish dialogues (currently there are only English ones in the Beginner course, which can be troublesome for those who are not fluent English speakers). What should I do to be able to add translations to the lessons?
Offer your translations to the provider who will then edit his/her own lesson or
Ask LingQ Support for a pencil for Finnish, in which case you an then add the translations yourself. (The icon for editorship is a pencil. Some of us are geeks and collect pencils.)
@obordal - thanks for your interest in contribution! Although we don’t recommend to rely on full text translations and, instead, encourage our members to learn texts by saving new words, your translations would probably be helpful for Russian beginners in Finnish.
We have just given you an “editor access” to Finnish lessons. You should be able to add your translations now. Thank you for your contribution!
