How does one get languages added? I believe I could encourage contributions in Slovenian and in CycL (there's a wikipedia page describing this language ), and I'd love to see contributions in Māori.
the basic way to do, is to add some sentences in the language you want, and tell us if there's a particular flag to use, this way we're sure we will not have a 0 sentences languages (because we get a loooot of request of languages), and after in the following week we will add all what is needed.
thanks for your interest in the project :)
Hi!
Suggestions and links showing which flags could be used is really appreciated :)
For Slovenian of course it's Slovenia flag, for Maori I've found this list:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Li...gs#Maori_flags
This one http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tino_rangatiratanga would be good? (It has an amazing design!)
For CycL, do you have any ideas in particular?
Thank you, and welcome!
I've put in some example CycL sentences, but I had to mark them as English (well, I didn't have to, but marking them as French or Swahili would have been worse). Sentence nº427971 is an example.
I'm not sure about a flag for CycL. It will be an interesting day when AI systems feel the need to have flags. I think it would be OK to use the OpenCyc logo from the top of http://sw.opencyc.org/ if you wanted.
Tatoeba uses 3-letter language codes, and CycL is expected to get a general tag for artificial languages (later it may have a subtag, but suptag support is only planned), so some general symbol for constructed languages may be OK too, IMHO.
By the way, I'm really happy you'll add Slovenian! I've been fascinated by this language for a long time. ^^

Please do this steps http://tatoeba.org/eng/faq for Maori and tell me if the flag I showed you would be good :)
Thank you!
By the way, when you first said flag, I thought you meant "tag" so that you could find them, .... hence the comments on the sentences.
You can recheck, but I tagged them too :)
The CycL flag that you sent looks good! Thank you.
For Maori, I can't actually carry out the last step, since, alas, I don't speak Maori. I'll try to elicit them though!
Any guesses when the CycL flag will be added. I'm eager to relabel my sentences away from English, and to add more!
I think you can go on adding sentences even if the language has not a flag yet :)
This can be a pain for non-trusted users whose new language is autodetected as something else, though...
It will be added some time next week :) Earliest would be August 2nd. Latest would be August 7th.
