Sets and words
Moving a set to another source language
Localize copies a set to another source language with the translations emptied — what carries over, what does not, and why the taught language cannot change.
Importing words from a table
Paste up to 50 words at once, choose the separators, and mark the practised word in every example with double parentheses so exercises can find it.
Images on a word card
A word card crops every picture to 3:2 from the centre — the sizes that survive that crop, the formats it accepts and the ten-megabyte limit.
Who can see a set
A set is private until you say otherwise — what a link and the public level really grant, and why an assigned task gives a student no access to the set.
Your sets disappeared after removing a language pair
Removing a language pair hides everything that was created inside it. Nothing is deleted — add the pair back and it all returns.
Students and tasks
Entering addresses in an email invitation
The invite button activates as you type, a comma or a space separates addresses, and an address you have already invited is quietly skipped.
What happens to an invitation link
A shared link never expires but dies the moment you generate a new one; an emailed invitation lasts seven days. What a student sees on a dead one.
Your teacher account and your student account
Signing up as a teacher creates a student account beside it: one login, two separate libraries, and a switch that ends your other sessions.
A task link shows no results to the teacher
Work done through a task link is recorded nowhere: the person sees their own result and the teacher sees nothing. Assign the task when you need the result.
