Hyphenated words now count as one word? plus some bugs that this has introduced

Can confirm the problem is in Ukrainian too. In the Android app, when I click on a blue hyphenated word and try to make it a LingQ, no LingQ color shows up.

@zoran Can we get some kind of concrete update on this? It has now been a full month.

@zoran do you have any updates?

I honestly don’t care that much about this issue but I’m just dropping this comment here to bump it up. It’s clear that many fellow users do find this a serious problem.

Wow, more than one month and no solution from the team. This paid service is looking like public government stuff. @zoran

Tagalog and Indonesian are back to normal (kinda). Still a little buggy. Sometimes each word is counted separate (like it was originally before the change) and sometimes its considered plural (Indonesian) and sometimes is it creates a new meaning like it should (Indonesian)

It is indeed quite insane… but on a positive note @zoran replied this in another thread:

This however was 5 days ago now, and there is still no change, so I really have no idea what is going on. :pensive_face:

9 days from this now (49 in total) … I’m honestly lost for words at this point.

Edit: Now 10 days (50 total) :pensive_face:

Finally it seems like something is happening here. Some hyphenated words appear separated, while others remain appearing as one word. Is this due to the ‘work in progress’?

Yeah, it does seem like something has changed. I’m glad they’re working on it.

That said, I’m a bit worried it might be one step forward and one step back. I know they’re trying hard to fix the hyphenated word issue, but this latest update appears to have introduced a new problem.

When using the arrow keys to cycle through words, if you pass over any word that previously had a hyphen, it breaks the page visually and throws the selection off by one word.

It’s pretty disorienting. I’m hoping this only happens the first time you pass the word and then corrects itself afterward.

It also seems to depend on the language. I think it’s quite a mess and we can only hope that the process of cleaning it up won’t take too much time.

This has worsened again; I’m back to seeing lessons with an “unknown word” that’s completely unfindable.

This was the last response:

However this was 5 days ago now, and 2 weeks since the last time it was “soon”, and a month since the time before that, and so on for the past 2 months… So you should probably take it with an asteroid sized grain of salt. :person_shrugging:

On mine it’s not even just an issue with the hyphenated words themselves, but if there is any hyphenated word on the page, it causes the whole page to tweak out. Like I click on a word and totally different word appears in the pop-up menu on the right. I select a phrase and a completely different phrase appears and gets translated. Also words that I’ve already marked as “known” will appear blue or yellow, and words that a “new” won’t appear blue. Very frustrating.

You always have to reload the page. This happens after a hyphenated word gets split. The transition back to normal is not that smooth…

I unfortunately still haven’t seen a single change, but it’s good to know that even IF it gets “fixed”, “soon” (what ever that means), it will still be worse somehow. :man_facepalming:
