Sugiero que se debería desdoblar esta oración como mínimo en dos sentencias puesto que tenemos 2 oraciones con diferentes tiempos verbales: "What are you hiding" (CK) y "What's he hiding" (Spamster) de lo contrario se crea confusión para los no expertos en la traducción en Inglés y para el público en general.

@albrusgher
I suppose your comment belongs to this sentence: #1641765

We have 2 different sentences in English which should be split in different groups 1/What's he hiding and What is he hiding, and 2/What are you hiding. The verb tenses are not the same in both groups. If things stay like they are now, we are creating confusion and translation mistakes for the people about the exact equivalence between the two clusters of sentences.

Yes, al_ex_an-der. I placed the comment in the wrong place.

And about the place, I have not a clear idea about where to set the comment since there are involved several sentences. Maybe at the original sentence in English (CK) is the best stage just because we can see the complete list of all translated sentences. The only chosen point who shows 3 English and 3 Spanish sentences together is CK's phrase.

Please remember that sentences with blue arrows to the left are directly linked and sentences with gray arrows are indirectly linked, so they are not obligated to be valid translations of the original sentence.

Remember that linguistically for sentences A,B,C if A ≡ B and B ≡ C, then it is possible that A ≢ C.

Your example was really great.
Do you think, "cueyayotl", that the most users of the site realize this? (Blue and grey arrows in the sentences and A,B,C if A ≡ B and B ≡ C, then it is possible that A ≢ C.)
If not, Tatoeba should make changes to avoid misunderstanding, confusion and wrong conclusions about the translated sentences.
The simpler it is, the more attractive for the people will become.
Regards.
