Hi.

Does anyone know why weiqi101 sometimes offers strange remarks when solving tsumego?

Like for instance in this screenshot below:

I play a move and it seems to tell me that the move is wrong. But it's still the right
solution.

Is this a problem because I'm using google translate or is the weiqi101 site simply inaccurate
occasionally?

Automatic translation is usually not great :-? It is not uncommon that it reverses something affirmative to a negative, or the other way around. Also, it is well known in linguistics that people write and (especially) say things that are different from the meaning being communicated, and that is only one of many ways that translating between very different languages is often a fail. Possibly the remarks on 101weiqi just don't make all that much sense unless you think you can relate to what was really meant :-?
