I'm a bit concerned that even with translation hints (which was a good suggestion), translators might struggle to come up with two distinct words/phrases that produce an easily-understandable typing comparison. In the past, Anki used "example" and "exomple", and more than one person filed a bug report thinking that we'd accidentally misspelled it! It doesn't really even need to be English. If you feel that using English words there is unfair to other language speakers, we could use something like "12345" and "12245" instead. WDYT?

Looks like this now:

Maybe reverse the two? Otherwise I think that looks ok, and bypasses all the translation issues. What do you think?

When I read 123 at the type-in box in the question, I can associate that it is an example, but not so much with 124.

Maybe something extra could be added into the question box to make that clearer. like example: 123 and then compare 123 to 124 normally in the answer, but I'm really not sure of that

We can't easily inject text outside of the typing area - it would need fragile logic that looks for the input/code sections. I think we're probably either going to need to stick to numbers, or the existing hard-coded English, unless someone has another suggestion.

I meant inside the type box.

1234 (example)

or

example: 1234

then in the answer

1234
 I
 V
1235

I was wrong about injecting the text - we're looking for [type: already, which should be pretty unambiguous. So we could inject that text into the typing area. But don't you think it would be clearer to include it on a previous line, so it's more obvious what text was 'typed'?

some options:

I think the second is the clearest. What do you think about changing the wording to something like "Example typed text:"?

I actually don't like very much any of the results. I'm not going to have time for this for a while, so I'll close the PR for now
