Re: How about 'Butterfly' in different European languages

As pawndemic said, in Spanish it is «mariposa», from «María» ("Mary") and «posar» (specifically with the meaning of "to rest on a surface"), according to the DLE. Oh, that is cute. To which María are they referring? The German Schmetterling only refers to the movement of the win...

Re: Flags

I don't get a response when I hover over your flags. That would be a nice feature to have. I wonder all the time whose flag is this, whose flag is that. On Duolingo somebody even made a script at some point to show the name of the country in a tooltip on hover. Exactly what kind of script? Because ...

Re: What's new

Yes, I was about to suggest the same thing. Adding them as emojis or just uploading the images on Duome? Because Twemojis are all displayed with 18x18 pixels (even if they are actually bigger ), while the non-emoji flags have different sizes that are too noticeable, and that looks strange. Right. I...

Re: ¿Aun son visibles las banderitas de niveles?

Siendo este un sitio web totalmente independiente de Duolingo, la solución que encontraron los usuarios es añadir manualmente las banderas en su firma . Al escribir el nombre de algún país entre dos puntos, la bandera del mismo debería aparecer. Con algunos países hay que usar su código ISO 3166-1 ,...

Re: Exact meaning of 'la cuenta'?

With "check" Duolingo meant a "bill", i.e., what you have to pay after eating in a restaurant.
Keep in mind that "cuenta" has many other meanings.

these particular flags are being quoted on the front page.

I don't see my flag there :(

It looks like that only ten flags are displayed at a time, based on what flags were selected the most and what flags were selected earlier by at least one user.
Edit: Now 22 flags.

Thailand's flag doesn't show up with :th: also. I solved the problem by using the Thai flag emoji from my phone's keyboard instead and it shows when I preview my signature at least. By looking at fremanolas 's signature I found out that some countries need the whole name in order to show their flag...

I can't believe there are only 2 archive websites out there (at least to my knowledge). The Wayback machine and archive.ph. And I can't for the life of me figure how the wayback machine saves effectively pages. At least with the archive.ph you have more options to search and get a link to the saved...

Thanks! I hope to write more articles in the future. I would like to save the comments too! I think they had a lot of information as well. Obviously I could copy them and put them as comments.

By the way, you are now a global moderator, so you can rename and rearrange everything that needs to be rearranged.

There is an accent missing above the "i" of "guaraní".
