"To where do you travel?" This form does not leave a dangling participle and should be acceptable
My response that I reported was, "where are you going?". If someone was travelling, I wouldn't ask them "where do you travel to?".
Seriously, that's a much better translation than the horrible one they provide.
"Where do you make a journey to?" does leave a preposition at the end of the sentence, but I don't think it's wrong.
i think it should be but the report section gives no option to report it as such!
In English, where does not usually take "to"; "Where are you going?" is standard English, "Where are you going to" is not.
yes Septimus. not perfectly grammatical english but acceptable imho. common parlance. anyway once again the report section gives no option to report an alternative translation proposal. (Severus es Septime.)=-)

True. However, I think here the developers are working on teaching the differences between "quo", "unde", and "ubi", so perhaps some concessions should be made in the interest of clarity.
please ignore all my previous posts. duh. it was supposed to be listen and type and acxordingly was incorrecto.
unde is where from, quo is where to
unde (not comparable) Adverb whence, from where
https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/unde#Latin
quō (not comparable) Adverb (interrogative) whither, whereto, where
Etymology 1 Adverb declined from quī. See also the same meanings in ubī.
