I answered "lelaki-lelaki itu membaca surat kabar itu" but not accepted. And newspaper also means "surat kabar". And it's not necessary to put "itu" in that sentence, so translation of that sentence should be "Para lelaki membaca koran". And if you want to translate "lelaki-lelaki itu membaca koran itu" should be : that men read that newspaper. "Itu" means that and the means "Sang" or " Si". Is that right?

It's not necessary to put "itu" in bahasa ID, but it helps teach someone learning English if Duolingo requires it, so they get used to how much we use particles (a/an/the) dalam bahasa Inggris. Things like "itu" and "tersebut" are required to build good habits in constructing English sentences.
Also, "that" should be "those" when plural. "Lelaki-lelaki itu" -> "Those men"
Anyway, "the" doesn't translate directly to Indonesian. In the right context, "the" can be itu, ini, -nya, tersebut, sang, si, para, used in "yang" constructions ("the one that is..."), or omitted completely. There is no 1:1 direct word for "the"
All that said... "Lelaki-lelaki itu membaca surat kabar itu" should be okay, I think. Report if it's still not accepted
Menurutku sama aja sih... Cuma lebih sopan "tersebut" kalo dalam bahasa Indonesia. Tapi kebanyakan aku pake "tersebut" untuk mengartikan kata "the" di aplikasi ini karena kayaknya dia tidak mengenal penggunaan "itu" sebagai pengganti kata "tersebut " kecuali dia minta translate dari kata "that" baru arti kata "itu" dianggep bener

para lelaki kok salah ya padahal di dalam bahasa indonesia para pria para lelaki para laki-laki kan sama,,
