How to enter two possible answers

Use ';' or ',' without the back slash, it should work. If you want to
make both answers obligatory (e.g. because a word has two meanings and
you need to learn them both), you can use this syntax:

1. one 2. a

I hope that helps.

Thanks. A few remarks, though:

1. one 2. second-option
This is not a syntax; leaving out the numbers and/or changing the order is counted as incorrect

one, second-option
This seems to work as a syntax partly; picking either is counted as correct. However, when both answers are given but without a comma or in another order, the answer is counted as incorrect.

A bit late, but I think the problem here was that you cannot just separate answers by a space: a comma, semicolon or the number notation is required. Order shouldn't matter, though. But in the end, yes, this should be better documented.

In many language learning platforms https://ilm.com.pk/ or tools, including the one you're using, the option to input multiple correct answers in one cell or field might not be available. However, you can indeed achieve the desired outcome by entering the source word multiple times in different rows with each corresponding target language option. This method ensures that all correct translations are accepted during assessments or exercises. While it might require more input initially, it ensures accuracy and flexibility in assessing language proficiency. If the platform you're using doesn't support this feature, you might want to explore other options or contact the platform's support team for assistance or suggestions on how to handle multiple correct answers efficiently.
