** Tatoeba update (January 24th, 2015) **

# Sentences with audio are locked
From now on, sentences cannot be deleted or edited if they have audio. We consider that a sentence that has audio can safely be considered as correct and has no reason to be changed or deleted.
Admins can still remove the audio from the sentence, and therefore make it editable and deletable again, if it turns out that the sentence did have a mistake after all.
# UI fixes
* For advanced contributors: the link/unlink button has moved to be placed before the arrow. Users reported that having the link/unlink button next to the text could lead them more often to link or unlink by mistake than to have the button completely to the left.
* The sentence link (that is automatically generated when you type #123 for instance) now works also when you have punctuation before the #. For instance if your comment contains a parenthesis before the #, like (#123), it will now display the link properly.
* Linking sentences from the "Browse by language" when a language is selected in "Show translations in" will no more display all translations after linking, but only show translations in the language selected.
# New language
A language has been: Eastern Punjabi. We actually had the language "Punjabi" but it mistakenly contained sentences in Eastern Punjabi while it was meant to be Western Punjabi.
There fore "Punjabi" was renamed to "Punjabi (Western)" and "Punjabi (Eastern)" has been added.
I personally have much more trouble with the link/unlink button before the arrow. Besides, now it's placed right beneath the green # so it doesn't seem very logic to me.
Also I think that people use link/unlink buttons more seldom than arrows so it would be more convenient if these arrows were on the edge of the page.
The change of the position was based on feedbacks from here:

If more people can't get used to the new position of the link/unlink buttons, we can change it back.
Yes, this almost gave me a heart attack :D but that's probably just me..
Now to the point: is there a poll somewhere, can we vote on this change?

There's no poll but anyone who doesn't like the change can voice their opinion in this thread :)

I'd prefer to have linking/unlinking button on the right of the sentence next to the flag icon.
I think it's a matter of habit. I'm now used to the current arrows' position.

This happens also when you link/unlink in a sentence list.

Now I know what gaslighting feels like. I'd prefer to go back to the other way or any other method where the two buttons are more separated to avoid this problem.
I find the way it is now much more difficult to get used to than the way it was before.
Actually, I'm also starting to miss the previous positioning.
I also miss the older arrows. I feel the current ones are too thin.
Me, too. This change would have made more sense when the sentences were still clickable.
