Is it OK to copy sentences from ads and spam sentences and messages into separate sentences, with the brand name and contact information removed? Can I assume that any sentences or wall messages posted are automatically compatible with the Tatoeba license? I think if a spammer adds a sentence or message to advertise, it is likely that they either own the text or at least have permission to post it online.

I also personally agree with this, but be careful to make sure that the sentences are actually grammatical. Many of those posts seem to be full of short SEO phrases or sentence fragments but few full sentences.

I'd hate to think we're at the point where we're so short of ideas for new sentences that we need to start taking them from spam.

Spam is designed to make people think about the product or service that the spammers are advertising. We should not be encouraging them. Even with the brand name removed, a sentence based on spam tells the spammer that their message has been received, and even amplifies it. This is exactly the wrong thing to do.

> Can I assume that any sentences or wall messages posted are automatically compatible with the Tatoeba license?

No, we can't make that assumption.

> I think if a spammer adds a sentence or message to advertise, it is likely that they either own the text or at least have permission to post it online.

We're talking about spammers, people whose regard for rights and permissions is not exactly at the forefront of their business model. We have no idea where they got the text from, and we're not about to ask.

Hello, Tatoeba team. A few months ago, I shared sentences in Tawallammat Tamajaq with you—translated into English and Arabic—across two files. Could you please let me know why those sentences haven't been added yet?

I'd like to get everyone's thoughts on this sentence. The Rules and Guidelines don't explicitly address emoji usage, and I'm not sure if starting with introductory phrasing and a colon adheres to our standards. While this writing style is frequently used by AI, I can't say for certain if it was AI-generated. Consequently, I'm not sure how to handle this sentence.

​Below is the English translation of the original text:

Water waves 🌊 and ultrasound waves 🔊: As they propagate, both must compress or displace the surrounding matter (medium). Without water or air, they cannot move at all. Waves like these that require a medium to travel are collectively called mechanical waves.

Do not write extra information within the sentence. (Do not include annotations within sentences.)

Don't include special symbols like emoji (for example, ":-(").

Okay thank you I missed the emoji part. But I'm not sure if the "(medium)" or "Water waves 🌊 and ultrasound waves 🔊:" parts are annotations

I think that it should be changed like this:

As water and ultrasound waves propagate, both must compress or displace the surrounding matter.

The start of the sentence doesn't seem to align with how sentences should be on Tatoeba.

As for "medium", I'm not sure if it counts as an annotation, because I think that rule refers more to annotations about the language e.g when people write "I (male speaker)". You can commonly find annotations in writing (in English at least), so it would seem strange to me if they're 100% banned. But still, I don't understand the point of saying "matter (medium)". It seems fine just saying "matter".

While the most common form of annotation that people incorrectly insert at Tatoeba is metadata, as in "(male speaker)", alternate wording, as in "matter (medium)", is also annotation and should not be added. This is an example where the guidelines are designed with purposes other than comprehensive coverage of all the phenomena that occur in the written language.

I think '(medium)' here means that the surrounding matter that is compressed or displaced as water waves and ultrasound waves propagate, is referred as "medium". This is a bit different from the '(male speaker)' case.

The "dir" value for Uyghur should be "auto" rather than "rtl". Uyghur uses three different writing systems: Arabic (in China), Cyrillic (in Kazakhstan) and Latin.

Folks, we've had 33 posts over the last week related to a request to display Tatar in both Latin and Cyrillic scripts. At this point, we don't need any more comments offering support for the idea, examples, statistics, or details about the scripts. I've written a GitHub issue page linking to the posts here. Now the request needs to be evaluated to figure out whether, how, and when it could be implemented. If the person who does this needs to get in touch with you, he knows how to find you.

In cases where specialists (administrators) make errors when writing the Tatar language in Latin or Cyrillic, I (as the person responsible for the corpus) could correct them manually.
