#mo is the tag for #Moldovan. It's not really necessary because nowadays even Moldova considers Romanian to be its national language.

Re: The Super Challenge - discussion thread 2018/2019
How do we link our Twitter account to our forum name? I think I will try and use the bot. I got successfully registered but the challenge website, of course, doesn't know I'm me . It's @anniestahlie if this is done manually. If not and someone can point me in the direction of how to edit it, I'd be glad to do it.

But there's no sense crying over every mistake. You just keep on trying till you run out of cake.

As for the Russian book, I would say 1/3rd. Maybe 1/4 if you ignore the questions.

In the top right corner of this forum, click your name, then “user control panel”. Then click the tab marked “profile” and add your Twitter handle without the @.

Does the bot count a number written in letters without hashtag? It counts that I have watched 2 books in Arabic even though I am actually only at 27 pages by the rule (135 manga pages). For clarification, this is exactly what I wrote on my Twitter:
@langchallenge #read the first chapter of Akame ga Kill in #arabic. Total eighty five pages, but according to the rules it only counts as 17 pages.
@langchallenge #read the second chapter of Akame ga Kill in #arabic. Total fifty two pages, but according to the rules it only counts as 10 pages.

It hasn’t picked up any number of pages (otherwise it would state the number of pages next to the book on the site). My guess is that it parsed the first reference to "pages" but since there was no associated number, it got ignored. So each tweet was recorded as you having read a book instead. I think you need to delete the tweets and just say something like "Total is eighty five, but according to the rules it only counts as 17 pages. "

Re: The Super Challenge - discussion thread 2018/2019
So I'm still seeing some back and forth--it's working, it's not working.
At the moment, I'm seeing my stats from the last challenge only, and it's not updating my current tweets.
So until someone posts that everything is absolutely fine, I'll keep logging in my Language Notebook and I'll update my progress bar here.
So don't be surprised when you see that sudden 5,000 pages posted for me.
Ok, maybe 50.

Re: The Super Challenge - discussion thread 2018/2019
I've had mixed results. It's picking up some hashtags and not others. For films, #film is working fine. An example which worked:
@langchallenge #fr #film "L'art du Crime, s1e1" 50 mins
But #book does not seem to work, as in this example:
@langchallenge #fr #book "Le Petit Nicolas et les copains" 134 pages
I tweeted again using #reading, and it worked fine:
@langchallenge #fr #reading "Le Petit Nicolas et les copains" 134 pages
@langchallenge #fr #film "L'art du Crime, s1e1" 50 mins
But #book does not seem to work, as in this example:
