Ah I see. Maybe it would have been cool to warn users about this, similar to the way Twitter or Facebook mention new functionalities with a popup. I suppose that like me, many users will not recognize they post new sentences in Afrikaans. We might run into big problems with our sentence database if users are unaware of this.
There are two issues at stake here:
1) People are creating many variations of the same sentence. This is especially true for simple sentences.
2) Variations naturally evolve by translation, if one word in one language can be translated differently into another language. If two translations are created, then these two are again translated into many other languages, etc.
The question remains whether all of these variants are helpful / relevant and if not, how we could avoid these.
Personally, when encountering sentence variants in Japanese which I translate into German, I either link them to the same sentence in German if they mean exactly the same, or I just translate one and then go on to other, more interesting sentences.

In the case of languages where the names are changed according to case, etc., a simple replace method will not work anymore, as the computer would in theory need to know the case the name is in. If a computer can then in practice change a concrete name into a special form is still another issue, and this would have to be implemented in all languages. I therefore doubt this can be realized.
Is it necessary that all other languages match the English sentence?
Sacredceltic is often adding comments to my German sentences if they do not exactly match the English sentences word-by-word, although I usually translate from the Japanese, so if there is a little mismatch, then this is also reflected in the Japanese sentence.
Sacredceltic's opinion seems to be that ALL languages have to match the English one word-by-word.
Is this an official tatoeba policy?

I have a question about restricting one's search.
I want to search for the word "重なる". In order to find all verb forms, I decided to search for "重な", however this finds a lot of entries with "貴重な". So I wanted to remove all these entries from my search, entering:"重な" -"貴重"
However, this led to no search results, although there are entries.
Can someone tell me the correct syntax? I know that it used to work like this.
