"ʻOno ka puaʻa kālua."

Translation: The kālua pig is delicious.

I was warned to pay attention to the accents. But the English word for kālua is "kalua," I would say.

[Lerura]

Well, we are not learning english at this course, but hawaiʻian

[GeraldMath4]

I already know English, so that part's OK. DL accepts "ukulele" as the English for "'ukulele," so I think rejecting "kalua" is another inconsistency.

It's kalua pork in every Hawaiian BBQ place I've been to (in CA) so I'd agree. The macron isn't necessary in English.

[Bob746503]

Kalua is a Hawaiian word and not an English word. Roasted or ground-oven baked/roast should be acceptable. In Hawaii, we use kalua readily, but the "spelling error" underline further indicates that this is not a word in English. My translations to roasted should be accepted.

[tropicalnut]

exactly where on an English keyboard do you find ā? as I type it gives ā as a spelling error. It absolutely is not English.

[Bob746503]

Since English is the language of the translation, the macron for kalua seems unnecessary.

[Jeanatan]

"Kalua" is an acceptable English translation for "pua'a kālua". It's like requiring the translation for "carnitas" to be "pulled pork" in English; the proper English word is the loan word, "carnitas".
