Every time before this one Duo provided that as the answer. This time I thought is added incredibly odd--so I tried young ladies. And what do you know? It worked.

"How old are the ladies?" is not accepted. The suggested solution is "How old are the kids?"

When a Spanish noun has an -ito/ita ending, the English word "little" precedes that Spanish noun's translation. Thus, if you only goal was to communicate, then the translation you propose should be accepted. However, be aware that translating "señoritas" as "young ladies" is preferable, more literal. and hence better.
Yes, it's silly. I don't think "kids" is appropriate. I also reported it.

The popup says señoritas translates to young ladies, ladies or girls. Ladies is now accepted, but girls is not.

All the more reason for you to report it. When enough people do, it will be accepted by the program.

Did you report it? Post it there, not here. It's faster and more effective.

That statement is considered RUDE in the U.S. except when needed for alcohol, job or voting etc.
How is this relevant? We are learning to speak and understand spanish, not how to be polite in the overly sensitive US.
See. Here you translates "las señoritas" as "young ladies" which I used for translation for "Las señoritas tienen vestidos bonitos" and you wanted "young women". Very inconsistent.
