Bad translation
The Swedish translation of the desktop version of Scratch has in the file menu the command Ladda upp från din dator. This is totally misleading. Ladda upp means uploading. But the command is in English Load from computer. Loading and uploading is not the same thing! Not in English and not in Swedish.
Load from your computer.
The proper term for the function is Öppna. Like Open. The Finnish translation uses the conventional Avaa and Tallenna (Open and Save), as if it were any proper computer program opening and saving files. As it is!
The online version uses Ladda upp från din dator (upload from your computer), which makes sense, because it includes a real upload. But the same wording is misleading in the desktop version.

when green flag clicked
ask [What is 1 + 1?] and wait
if <[(answer)] = [2]> then
say [Correct!]
else:
say [Nooo!]
end



That is how you make a quiz.
