Hellos in Different Languages prints random characters

So I have to print hellos of different languages from a list but I guess certain languages are not supported by my browser and print randow characters instead of the hello in a particular language. Because of this I get an error "Bummer! Didn't find all the hellos"

What should I do?

loop.py 
hellos = [
    "Hello",
    "Tungjatjeta",
    "Grüßgott",
    "Вiтаю",
    "dobrý den",
    "hyvää päivää",
    "你好",
    "早上好"
]

for each in hellos:
    print ("Hello " + each)

Hey Mit,

It's actually not a problem with the your browers, I don't think. It's because you have what the instructions are asking you to print kind of backwards. The string should be "<Hello in the language> World" but you are printing "Hello <Hello in language>.

So, you need to change your print statement to be:

for each in hellos:
    print(each + " World")

Keep Coding! :) :dizzy:

Hi Mit,

You may have to convert the letters giving you problems into html special characters: 

ß = &szlig; <!--  <---- for example -->

Here's a good link to a reference:
