** Tatoeba Day #21 **
Tatoeba Day starts now and as usual will end in 24 hours!
Tatoeba Day is an event where you can get involved a little bit (or a lot) more than you usually would, to help make Tatoeba more awesome. You can find more details about it here:
http://en.wiki.tatoeba.org/arti...ow/tatoeba-day
After the last Tatoeba Day I started a small campaign to try and find more developers for Tatoeba. I was pleasantly surprised to receive more responses than I expected (in total, around 25 people responded to the call).
Although it is unsure how much each person who contacted us will get involved in the project, it is really nice to see that so many people are interested. A few of them already started submitting code for small bug fixes/enhancements. I'm really looking forward to seeing how things will progress :)
For this Tatoeba Day, now that we have new members in the dev team, I'm hoping that with some of them we can fix as many issues as possible. Priorities will be bugs[1] and enhancements that are "accepted"[2].
You can already test on the dev website the following issues:
- https://github.com/Tatoeba/tatoeba2/issues/955
- https://github.com/Tatoeba/tatoeba2/issues/1119
I'll keep updating this thread as new issues are fixed.
Happy Tatoeba Day!

First request: https://github.com/Tatoeba/tatoeba2/issues/765
maybe it's time to update the strings and the urls in order to cover the current user roles, since they still present the old names for the roles, and they might be confusing for new users
This page is actually more of a hidden page and is likely to be removed one day, to be replaced by something else. It's not accessible anywhere from the menu and new users wouldn't know about it unless veteran users tell them about it.
I'm actually going to mark the issue as rejected because I don't think it's worth fixing the text of a page that is meant to be replaced. It'll just generate unnecessary work for UI translators.
Second request: https://github.com/Tatoeba/tatoeba2/issues/720
This would be pretty useful to anyone who wants to browse sentences with a given tag in a given language. For example: if I'm learning English/French/any langage, I'd like to browse the sentences that were tagged as 'OK', and I would find it extremely useful to see the exact number of sentences with such tag, and not just the page number.
Just so you know, everything that is marked as "accepted" is something that has been validated and there's no more question about whether or not we should implement it. Therefore you don't need to make additional requests for such issues. It's just a matter of having a developer who wants to implement them.
What you can do however, is verify that every "accepted" issue has been completely thought through, and we didn't miss some problems. It can happen that "accepted" issues have not been analyzed thoroughly enough, and must be set back to "pending".
I also saw these two nasty bugs:
https://github.com/Tatoeba/tatoeba2/issues/1057 ("Odia cannot be searched")
https://github.com/Tatoeba/tatoeba2/issues/1056 ("Kannada cannot be searched")
This issue can be tested on the dev website (https://dev.tatoeba.org):
- Title: Sometimes it would be useful to have exact dates and times rather than times listed as "6 hours ago
- Link: https://github.com/Tatoeba/tatoeba2/issues/993
Another issue can be tested:
- Title: Sentences with slashes appear empty in search results
- Link: https://github.com/Tatoeba/tatoeba2/issues/1050
The empty result problem was actually fixed. The issue contains another problem which was that searching with the slash symbol causes an error.

Working pretty well :D
Is there anybody speaking Mandarin Chinese? I would need translations for these strings:
- {n} minutes ago
- {n} hours ago
- {n} days ago
(where {n} is a number)
This would help fix this issue https://github.com/Tatoeba/tatoeba2/issues/923.
Thanks!
Another issue can be tested:
- Ttile: Shortened links are sometimes incorrect
- Link: https://github.com/Tatoeba/tatoeba2/issues/963
Congrats and thanks, dev team!
Tatoeba Day is now over!
