Tatoeba day #4

I just want to announce quickly that our 4th Tatoeba day is scheduled on Saturday, March 26th.

I will publish more information about it on Thursday night (France time). Get ready!

How do you say "Tatoeba"?

Using the IPA:

tæ-təʊ-bʌ or tʌ-təʊ-bʌ

I'm a noob, so please forgive me if this a feature and not a bug. But I want to report the little issues that bother me as a new user, so here I go: When I insert translations the form memorizes the chosen language. But every now and then the language is set back to "automatic detection". Often I don't note the change and the automatic detection usually fails, detecting my Low Saxon sentences as Dutch or German.

Is this a known issue, can this be fixed?

Thanks for any input :-)

Hi,

I'm new here.

I contributed some sentences in Low Saxon (nds) and I'd like to translate the website's interface into Low Saxon too. Would it be possible to add Low Saxon to the languages translatable at Launchpad?

If this is not the right place to ask please hint me in the right direction ;-)

Thanks

Right now, on the new page with the log of a user's contributions, each link shows up twice, once in each direction. I think each link should only appear once, making it easier to read, and showing more real information per page.

Also, it would be nice if the link showed the flag of the two languages. That way, anyone could easily see if it was a link that they could review.

Gentlemen!

Behold!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tatoeba

le nouveau message "You can write in any language you want. In Tatoeba, all languages are equal." devrait être changé en "You MAY write in any language you want. In Tatoeba, all languages are equal."

Ce message est-il aussi traduisible via Launchpad ?

Duplicate sentences

I'm asking everyone to stop posting comments about duplicates and to stop deleting them.

I will set up a page where you can enter 2 ids and it will merge the sentences if they are "mergeable". So please be patient, stop posting comments to say it's a duplicate, stop deleting duplicates.

I know it's frustrating for many of you to know that there are so many duplicate sentences in Tatoeba but trying to delete duplicates manually will not solve the problem.

We do have a script that would take care of deleting duplicates, except it has some small bug that sysko did not have time to figure out, so we stopped running it.

To give you an idea, here's the number of duplicates for the 5 top languages in Tatoeba, on 20/03/2011 (that is today), at 1AM, France time.

eng => 676
jpn => 29
epo => 3057
fra => 653
deu => 1135

The main cause: Tatoeba cannot display any further than indirect translations. So what happens is that:
1) Someone adds a sentence in French.
=> FRA
2) Someone translates FRA into English.
=> FRA-ENG
3) Someone translates ENG into German.
=> FRA-ENG-DEU
4) Someone translates DEU into Esperanto.
=> FRA-ENG-DEU-EPO1
5) Someone translates FRA into Esperanto. They couldn't see EPO1 because it's too far away from FRA and is not displayed for performance issues. It would be very slow if we tried to display all the translation chain so we stop at indirect translations. And the result is that we have such chains:
=> EPO2-FRA-ENG-DEU-EPO1 (where EPO2 = EPO1)

It also happens that a user adds a "new" sentence that already exists, but this case is not as common.

Things should get better in the next version of Tatoeba, that some of you may have heard about. The next version will be able to display the whole translation chain without taking forever. It will be possible to do things like "get French sentences that do not have Esperanto translations at all, not even in-in-indirect ones".
