"多邻国说我的翻译是错的。"

Translation: Duolingo said my translation was wrong.

Getting pretty meta out here, duo

[OkayPoltergeist]

Came here just to say this, and you beat me to it.

[DADA158]

Duo beat us all to it

[Shea603077]

most useful sentence they've ever taught me

[Ephraim810]

At least they know it's wrong

[kaibriMc]

Funny, I say Duolingo's translations are wrong all the time.

[Harley497499]

Suggestion: Duolingo said my translation was wrong... but it wasn't.

[psqu6jbd]

How about "Duolingo said my translation is incorrect."

[hippietrail]

Is there some reason that "said" and "was wrong" must be past tense?

[Deadbloxx123]

I guess they are right

[Dou_Bi]

Most ironic sentence in the whole course

[Terence364703]

Bad duolingo!

[Tommy556270]

Duolingo is often wrong

is the 多邻国说 natural in Chinese? Is this used because Duolingo is an app with voice recordings?
I'm just thinking of how people use informal English to say, "The recipe told me to add more sugar" or "The sign told me to turn left" even though recipes and signs don't speak. Wondering about the equivalent in Chinese

[SyowTer]

I think this kind of expression is natural in Chinese and just like "tell" in English whether it has voice recordings or not.

[KX3.]

You are both right, Chinese also has, for example, "The map taught/told me...", colloquially: 地图教叫我走这条路。, probably a shortcut where the traffic is better.

[Juan49481]

There is no reason to put this all in the past tense: says->said, is->was

[George792719]

I agree, the is nothing in this sentence that signifies past tense.

[Deadbloxx123]

这没有错呀

[Burkeburkeburke]

但是英文有多辦法將那個

[crystallai0305]

黎睇睇評論

[LightKnigh4]

Grrr…
After all those instances, Duo makes fun of it...

[puppen]

❤️

[domsalazar0]

How ironic is it that I messed up... and Duolingo actually did just say that my translation was wrong

[adz001]

That little green smartass should be careful as i have a very good recipe for small green birds from my latin course ...;-)

[jim140738]

但是多邻国几乎总是是错的

[Bilbao77]

Self-awareness isn't the same as self-improvement, duo.

[MichaelPat341612]

But my translation there was right. Hopefully they can fix this!!
