Is there a way to search a sentence from the language A whose translation in the language B contains some particular word?

For example how to search all German sentences containing "bestehen" whose English translation contain "insist". Note that the German verb "bestehen" has several meanings, one of them is "to insist".

Hence, the general motivation is to search all sentences in which a given word has a particular meaning.

I'd really like to have this feature too. It seems like you can't really use advanced search to achieve this.

I usually use google when I need something like this. Unfortunately, it can't really distinguish sentences by language, but if the words are very distinctively English and German (in your case) it could work.

So you can just search for anything that contains both "insist" and bestehen at the same page.

You'll need to refine your search criteria if you want to include conjugation variations, like "bestehst" or "bestanden".

This would definitely be a useful feature. Unfortunately, it’s not technically easy to implement it, because of the way the search is currently performed. I created an issue on our bugtracker to keep track of your suggestion: https://github.com/Tatoeba/tatoeba2/issues/1576
