This contains both hello (hallo) and congratulations (gefeliciteerd) and seems to be mixed up in several languages

Use captial C.

I don’t know any Turkish but I’m quite sure an equivalent already exists on Tatoeba and should be linked.

As Will pointed out four and a half years ago, this list has somehow merged the translations meaning "hello" and of "congratulations," so it's a bit of a mess. It would be nice if there were soime tool to disambiguate these words. In its current state, I can't see it being helpful to the beginning language learner.

Hi Objectivesea,

Are there any *direct* translations of this sentence that are incorrectly linked? Please let me know and I'll unlink them.

As for the indirect translations, there are words meaning "Hello" there because in Ukrainian and Belarussian the word "Вітаю" can mean both Hello and Congratulations.

So, obviously, you can see a lot of hellos in translations of translations, this is the nature of indirect translations.

In the same spirit, if you look here:

https://tatoeba.org/eng/sentences/show/373330

There are a lot of words that mean "Bye", including the English word "Bye", on the list of indirect translations of the word "Hello" (because, for example, "Ciao" in Italian means both Hello and Bye, and I'm sure there are other words from other languages like that).
