Esperanto word: prokrasti
English translation: to adjourn

Esperanto example: La klaso finiĝos post unu horo.
English example: Class will adjourn in an hour.

Well, the example isn't a mistake per se. It just doesn't have anything to do with the WOTD.

Who is the author of these WOTD anyway?
Looks to me like some (badly written) script: Take same word (here: prokrasti), translate it into English (here: adjourn), then lookup some English sentence with this word in it (here: Class will adjourn in an hour.) and then look up its translation, no matter whether the original WOTD appears in it or not.

Exactly. I also study the Arabic word of the day every morning and the example word is supposed to be used in the sentence.
