Normally the path of the file should be enough of a hint for you to figure out on which page of the website the string can be found.

If the path is something like /views/<something>/file.ctp file, then you would usually (not always) need to go to http://tatoeba.org/<something>/file

If the path is /controllers/<something>_controller.php, then the string is a bit harder to find, but it can be found somewhere in the pages that start with http://tatoeba.org/<something>/

I don't know how comfortable you are looking at source code, but it could be simpler if you just translated what you can first. We have a "test" version of Tatoeba where we test things before we update the "real" version of Tatoeba. As soon as you have your translations done (even partially), we can update the "test" version and you can then browse around in there to check if the translations fit or not. I'll give you the link in a private message.

Other than that, the source code can be found here:

Just note that the strings in Launchpad are not always exactly synchronized with the code source.

random sentences for sure, mysql doesn't like random at all ^^ we're on the way to try to make it faster

We plan to do so, you will have more details and maybe a proof of concet at the beginning of April :)

Ah, indeed, indeed. I had changed the 'text' field from varchar to varbinary, but kept the length to 500. That's why those entries were truncated. I've fixed it and did a new export of the jpn_indices.

How do you know about that by the way? I don't remember making it official yet, that the download files would be upadted on Saturdays. (or did I? o.o)

:D thank you^^.

Ah, who told on me, that was supposed to be a secret.

I think that it's more correct to say "any _current_ English media". The Tanaka corpus is old, and it used even older sources of sentences. Quite a few of them would not be out of place in books published before 1940, but are rather confusing to those of us in 2010.

I think those that are old-fashioned or highly idiomatic should be kept as demonstrating historical usage but should not be used as guides to writing English (or for translating into English). I think they are good candidates for an [Old-fashioned] tag or something. ;-)

Another problem is those that are written like dictionary entries (lots of 'one' usage) and those that are not really whole sentences. I think these are worth improving, as time permits, but are probably not a high priority for translation into other languages.
