Feedback during the interactive translation flow. Students will now be able to:
- long-click on the choices they are given to see information about the words
- see how common each choice they make is
- receive an end of translation feedback message
- see alternative translations when they have chosen less common choices
Visual updates to all pop-up cards (hello, Pangea Bot!)
Faster translation
No empty pop-up cards. What’s more is you can ask the bot for explanations of words specific to their context of use (scroll to the bottom of a dictionary pop-up card to see this feature)
Toggles should all be green and gray (for example, to suggest a chat to the whole class)
