Unable to seperate LingQs

Hi,

When I create a LingQ on a line in a lesson, I am unable to create another one on the same line unless the two lingQs are separated by non-highlighted words. The two LingQs just merge together.

At first it appears I have two separate LingQs and there is a space between them, but when I refresh or return to the lesson later, they have merged into one LingQ and the space between the LingQs has disappeared.

In addition, I am unable to LingQ from one line onto the next.

I’m really curious about this. I think I have experienced this, but I’m not sure.

Are you able to provide screenshot examples?

Hi there,

Here is an example above. I LingQd ‘Come è cambiata l’Italia’ but then wanted to LingQ ‘Negli anni’ as well on the same line. When I went to LingQ ‘negli anni’ it appeared with a space before it and separated from the first LingQ. However, when I refreshed the page or returned to the page, I found the whole line was LingQ’d together.

It happens quite a lot. I’m not quite sure of the reasons for when it works and when it doesn’t.

Hi @David72,

Thanks for including that picture!

Yes, I’ve seen these before! Creating multiple LingQs on the same sentence/line is tricking in LingQ. And it’s visually hard to see through the LingQ reader.

Do they show up as separate LingQs in your vocabulary section?:

You can also find it at a variation of the following link:

https://www.lingq.com/en/learn/ko/web/library/vocabulary/all

Note: You might have to replace your language codes in the URL above with whatever your UI language is and your target language is (*I don’t think it automatically redirects based on user info, but it might):

  • For me it’s en for English and Ko for Korean
  • For you it might be: https://www.lingq.com/[insert your UI language here]/learn/[insert your target language here]/web/library/vocabulary/all

Also, do they show up in sentence view if you have this option checked on under your reader settings?:

I don’t do a lot of multiple-phrase Lingqing, so I can’t recall which lessons I’ve done that with.

I do notice that your image has shades of yellow, which seem to indicate that you created multiple LingQs with that one section, but I’m not 100% sure:

Thanks for reporting. I asked our team to investigate this.

Thanks both for responding. It shows up as one LingQ (rather than two separate LingQs) in both the vocabulary section and in sentence view.

Hi again, @David72,

I wanted to ask if you have your “show vocabulary” feature ticked on as well?:

I’ve been finding this helps with multiple LingQs in the same section, that appear as a “single highlight” that makes it hard to select otherwise:

For example:

Note: I know yours was a slightly different case because it wasn’t showing up as separate in your vocab section either and it was requiring a highlighted section in between highlighted sections, but I just thought I’d share in the case that has been fixed for you and you find this helpful!

Hi, thanks for looking into this for me. I think my settings look a bit different using a PC. I can see I have “show vocab in sentence mode” turned on. Here are my settings:
