What does it mean when it inserts a # in front of a sentence?

After I edit a sentence in a lesson, it (often? sometimes? not sure) inserts a # in front of the sentence.

What does that mean?

I am not familiar with that issue. We’ll look into it.

Thanks.

I have been leaving it there, because I don’t know what it does or why it is there, so I decided not to touch it.

Hello @zorbital could you please provide more information when it happens? What language? How this lesson was created? And the screenshot also would be very helpful. Thank you :hibiscus:

The language is Russian.

I created the lesson using the youtube plugin.

Then I go through and fix the misspellings in the transcription.

And sometimes it puts a # and a space in front of the Russian sentence after I edit it.

Could it be in that way in the YouTube subtitles? Please, check or add a link to the YouTube video. Thank you.

No, it is not in the original.

When I said ā€œit inserts a # signā€, I meant that inserted it–that it was not there before, and then the software added it (but not at the end–at the start).

That is, it is NOT in the original text, and NOT there before I edit it, but it appears afterward (inserted in the front).

@zorbital Do you edit it in the ā€˜Edit lesson’ page or on the ā€˜Edit sentence’ page?

Edit sentence (and here is some more text so it lets me answer)

@zorbital unfortunately I’m not able to reproduce this issue. Could you please update here if it will happen often or there will be some clear pattern for it’s appearance? Thank you.

The issue looks similar to this one.

I got the hashtag from YouTube imports everytime there was music or singing in the video. So in front of every sung sentence there is the #. I’m not sure if it’s done by YouTube or if the video creator marked the transcript as ā€œmusicā€.
