You can't accept your own translation unless you're the kata author, you need to look for other power users to approve your translation ;-) The usual way to do is to either raise a suggestion about the translation or go to the official gitter chat.

(Also if the author is active a week is needed before translation can be approved by power users.)

Though in this case the kata is a duplicate and a translation wouldn't help it in any ways. Maybe you should choose a more prospective kata to make a translation next time ;-)

How exactly does a Kata Translation work? I mean I made a translation in Python 3 and not sure how it might eventually become part of the official Kata. I see a button to accept my own translation... but as expected that button does nothing (thought it was funny that it would have let me do that) and also the origional creator hasnt been seen since March 2017 or something like that. Hell, I dont even know if anyone would see this since the last comment was 7 months ago... oh well.

Imma go make some chicken strips

You would be my first approval on codewars.com!

Wow, that was a fast response, yeah no it was totally my fault, after an hour or so I figured it out, rookie mistake, was actually the first problem I ever tried on this site so there was a bit of a learning curve, (I'm new to code if you couldn't tell lol).

Didn't think the 'issue' was an actual flag, thought it was a simple categorization of sorts for the forum. I'll make sure to exercise caution next time I use it, I'm sorry.

Appreciate it!

Wow, hope soon I'll come up with solutions as clean and cutthroat as this

Please, check twice or more before creating an issue, follow these simple steps:

• Check how many completions there already are in the language you're trying, in this case, there are 10235 completions, so a kata issue is highly unlikely.
• State the language you're having troubles with, I guess it's Python.
• Use Question label when you don't know what the problem is.
• Paste your code using proper markdown and mark your post as having spoiler content.

My guess is your code prints the result or if you're using recursion you're doing it wrong. But follow the steps I told you above and we can help you better.

Strange, this is my first challenge so maybe its just me, but the test that was ran comes to the exact conclution (ex. answer is 7 and I get 7) but yet it says I've failed the test. Both my 7 and the test 7 are int, not str and it cant be a float... I'm so lost, I'll keep tinkering. Any advice?
