"This is a great opportunity."

Translation: To wspaniała okazja.

to jest wielka szansa

The two suggestions I get for "great" are cudowna i wspaniała, but the meaning of both words is "wonderful". Shouldn't the english translation be modified?

[Jellei]

With such words, it's hard to find direct equivalents. I think the translation is ok, and most importantly, both sentences sound natural in their respective languages.

[gkouye]

Earlier in the course there have been sentences that translated "wspaniały" as "great".

For example, if I remember correctly, one was "Ten chłopak i ta dziewczyna to wspaniała para", which we learned meant "This boy and this girl are a great couple."

To jest wielka możliwość

Sounds strange to me, but Google gives quite a lot of results... added.

Just a few moments ago I translated this sentence from the Polish and wrote 'It was a great occasion'. Duo rejected this . I reckoned I should have used 'wonderful.-bur here 'great ' is used by Duo, except that Duo is putting opportunity instead of occasion. What is the difference between 'a great opportunity' and 'a great occasion' (supposing 'great' is not considered a slang word any more?

[Jellei]

Yeah, I don't think it is. Well, "It was a great occasion" should have worked. "wonderful" and "opportunity" as well. I don't suppose you need explaining the difference in English ;) Both "occasion" and "opportunity" translate to "okazja". "opportunity" could also be "szansa", possibly "możliwość".
