You can filter out sentences based on such criteria or their authors. That’s what I do.

If I may give you a warning, there's a hidden flaw in this type of collective global endeavour. That is "fitting to the norm/vibe". Each culture, and subsequently each language possess its own cultural specificities. So please do not try to "fit" to the "global culture"'s vibe, by submitting sentences that are merely translations of known sentences from modern popular languages. Please also submit sentences that are entirely specific to your language and culture, so that translators will have to really dig into it, in order to be able to translate properly if they ever can. That will precisely pinpoint the specific value of your language and culture. Learning what Tom and Mary do in Boston in your language, is not that interesting anyway and doesn't give credit to your unique cultural contribution.

Good job, Rusydy ! It's so sad to see languages disappear along with all the specific cultural knowledge that goes with it. I'm sure Tatoeba will be the right place to preserve your memory.

Who wants to get an internship in such a backward country anyway ?

These links aren’t functional…

Merci Gillux. Très pro, bravo !

Maybe Kanjis are out of fashion nowadays with younger natives…

Funny to read from a MAJOR censor who attempted to ban so many of my sentences…

The problem is one of big-numbers seeking. What if “but-name duplicates” sentences were discounted to their authors ? That would be some deterrent to their authors, probably…
Easy to code…

Strange principle. And what do you do when languages have more than two genders ?

My twopence:

1) not all names are equal. To me “Ziri” is not immediately identifiable as a person’s first name. I never met anybody named so and I had no idea it was a firstname before. To me, it sounded more like a brand name for some food, or fast fashion such as “Oxo” or “Zara”.
That’s where the reading of an unknown foreign firstname becomes very difficult, because, then, you don’t know what you’re reading about and it just makes interpretation completely random.

What’s the meaning of : “Oxo just opened a new outlet” ?!? Depends on the nature of “Oxo”…Person ? River ? Brand ?
There are more than 6000 languages in the world, each having hundreds of firstnames. One can’t expect anybody to identify them all as such and probably hundreds of them are already commercial brands’names…

So it’s highly preferable to use known firstnames relevant to the language we’re translating into, in order to make them more identifiable. I’m sorry for those who have the rarest firstnames and who will subsequently feel discriminated ( because everybody wants to feel somehow discriminated, nowadays…), but Tatoeba is a sentences collection, not a names collection.

2) Yes, not all language learners are willing to learn the associated cultures, but language and culture are one. The culture perspires through the language, even if you try hard to ignore it…

And yes, some languages declense names, and that doesn’t work well with foreign names, in general…

> when translating an ungendered sentence to a language that genders it, go with the feminine"

Where is this “principle” from ?!?

> The government encourages translation within the framework of the President's Prize of the Tamazight Language (instituted in 2020). Algerian public authorities particularly encourage the translation of Algerian works from Arabic/French into Tamazight.

Err…NO ! The Algerian government in the last 60 years did everything it could to ERADICATE Tamazight…

As a matter of fact, Russia has a contradictory linguistic agenda : imposing the Russian language to hundreds of different Siberian, Turkic, Ugrian, Caucasian peoples, just to name a few. So if Russia is a federation of many peoples and territories, none of them being willing, encompassing hundreds of languages, then the Russian flag should apply either to all of them or to none. You can’t be Russian and “Federate” at the same time…

Merci

Mpborper m’a éclairé : l’utilisateur, auteur de la phrase, est bloqué.

Personnellement, je trouve cela très confus. Les administrateurs pourraient-ils récapituler les différentes circonstances, peut-être cumulées, qui transforment la couleur des phrases et clairement indiquer quelles conséquences cela a sur le filtrage de ces phrases dans les différents affichages ?
Merci

Comment se fait-il que des phrases correctes s’affichent en rouge, c’est à dire comme étant supposées douteuses, alors que seuls des non-natifs les ont révisées ?!?
Il se passe, avec le système d’approbation de phrases, EXACTEMENT ce que j’avais annoncé ici il y a déjà 10 ans : la prétendue « sagesse des foules » s’avère être une véritable CENSURE DES IGNORANTS.
Quel désastre !

I fully support this idea. People confuse sentences quality and translation quality because there is no way to distinguish one from the other.

If I’m not mistaken, there used to be a way to view linking activity on one’s own sentences. It seems to have disappeared from profile options, for some reason…
