Translation:ζ ζήτα

Are you asking for a "translation" or for a "transliteration" here? The question seems to be clear: "Translation". So, the answer should be "the zed", "the zee", the "the zeta" or something alike; not the transliteration...
It is close enough, it might be because "zeeta" is normally spelt "zeta", or maybe it's just a typo.
Did you know if you click on the word it's asking what it means.When you click on it, it shows you what it means in English
https://www.duolingo.com/comment/17556409 has instructions for adding a Greek keyboard.
How do I switch to Greek? I am Greek and am trying to suck less at my native language.
Hi! Are you asking how to switch your language to Greek or are you asking how to type in Greek?
Yes, I was wondering how to type in Greek, I was using this inefficient method of clicking letters on some website, copying, and pasting it.
Just look up "Greek keyboard" on an internet search engine (Google being the usual one), save the image, open it up, place the internet window on one side and the image on the other, and that way you just look at the image in one window, and then type in the internet window (of course...if you use "windows" :) ).
Please see the comments above on how to add a Greek keyboard. Also this post and the Duo wiki article on adding keyboards and input methods.
you can download google keyboard and access to many languages. Greek included ;)
This is the greek alphabet:
Α α Alpha Β β Beta Γ γ Gamma Δ δ Delta Ε ε Epsilon Ζ ζ Zeta Η η Eta Θ θ Theta Ι ι Iota Κ κ Kappa Λ λ Lambda Μ μ Mu Ν ν Nu Ξ ξ Xi Ο ο Omicron Π π Pi Ρ ρ Rho Σ σ Sigma Τ τ Tau Υ υ Upsilon Φ φ Phi Χ χ Chi Ψ ψ Psi Ω ω Omega
Hey, just to let you know. I also thought that μ and ν were pronounced mu and nu, but it turns out that that was only in Ancient Greek. Now its mi and ni. (confirmed by greek friends)
If you want exactly the pronounciation, here it is: Alpha Vita Gama Delta Epsilon Zita Ita Thita Yiota Kapa Lamda Mi Ni Xi Omicron Pi Ro Sigma Taf Ipsilon Fi Chi Psi Omega. Before I wrote how we write the greek letters, no how we pronounce them.
cool! Just a small point: some of them are just pronounced in the «English way». Actually, β is pronounced «veta» in Greek, not «vita».
Hope I helped. Thanks for your comments :)
Two things: Yiota can also be pronounced "ee-oa-ta" (spelt iota). Chi can also be spelt and pronounced hee.
