Phrasebook input - translations

Question

The Phrasebook will be a wonderful source of information but ........

How does one make a translation for a phrase that has been suggested?

Update - The problem has been fixed.

Answer 1

Let's say that I wanted to suggest "To go cold turkey", but I did not know the Spanish equivalent. I could post the English phrase and hope that someone could post the translation. (or equivalent phrase). Estar con el mono. I don't know if that's the real equivalent. I saw it online, but it looks too much like "having a monkey on your back" for me to believe that it is of Spanish origin. Anyway, that's what I think that they mean by translating the phrase. If it's truly an idiom, then a word for word literal translation would be meaningless.

Answer 2

Please see Paralee's comment on Ian's post on the thread below.

Answer 3

The problem is that when I click on "add translation" I am not able to.

Me neither. I can make a new entry with a translation, but can't add a translation as Ian has stated. - john20, Mar 22, 2010
