"多邻国说我的翻译是错的。"
Translation:Duolingo said my translation was wrong.

I believe it's because it's because it makes more sense in English but yeah, it's in the present I think.
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

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

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

How can you tell the difference between present tense "says" and past tense "said" if there äter no particles such as Le or Guo after the verb, and there are no time adverbs?
Duolingo said my translation was right when I wrote that it was wrong. Liar's paradox?
if anyone is wondering why 的 is at the end like i was click here:
I wish the PinYin was given for the characters that an error was made on, so we could make a correction!
