Stanislav Korotky:

According to the support response, this is impossible:

The user can run the free product downloaded from the market only on the hardware (hardware configuration of the computer and type of operating system) from which the download request was made.

Oh, that's good.

I've heard that free products are portable. Apparently a lie (haven't tried it myself).

Here nice information, but that's not enough for selling!

Question to moderators: during the work of the indicator if there are any malfunctions, holes in the history, etc. the indicator displays a message in the log, the messages are still only in Russian. I understand that in order to publish the product it is necessary to translate everything into English? Can I make it possible to change the language to Russian in the input parameters? It is certainly a small thing, but it will be convenient for Russian-speaking users. The same with screenshots in the description, I can make two variants of explanatory texts on screenshots, technically it is possible to display Russian screenshots on the page if the user has Russian language enabled on the site.

Input parameters - only in English.

Screenshots - only with English font.

Tell me, what about the indicator description, which is given in the #property description property. Will it always be in English only?

Yes. Only English in the description and in the input parameters.

Hello, I have another question. Here here https://www.mql5.com/en/articles/557 it is written how to make a description and said that the volume is not limited, it is desirable to make a detailed description and at the end and write about yourself preferably. Now I understand the restriction on the description still applies, but the main thing I would like to know if it is still possible (as it is written in the article"If necessary, insert an external link to a more detailed description of the embedded algorithms."). give an external link to a more detailed description, because when I submitted the product for testing, I received a warning that said that it is not allowed to link to external resources. I have my own site where I will post a more detailed description, can I link to it at least in the product discussions?

[Nesimeye Oswald]

Great article. Really high-lights the importance of Logos.  Thanks

I have a question-suggestion to Methaquots about the Marketplace.

Is there any way to allow authors to make changes to the product description in another section - news, announcements, FAQ, documentation.

For example, if, as the product develops, its settings and some parameters originally specified in the description have changed, it turns out that the description is no longer true. There is no possibility to adequately draw the attention of potential buyers to this.

Further, there is a need to report some information of a temporary nature, for example, announcements of promotions and the like. It is impossible to include such information in the description. It is quickly lost in the discussion.

Another problem is that the description itself is quite short. I absolutely welcome MQ's tendency to brevity, however, somewhere it is necessary to present a more detailed product manual, create FAQ, explain configuration issues and so on.

In short, a seller's section is sorely lacking, where information of both permanent and temporary nature could be posted and updated.
