Why did you change this sentence? Now it doesn't match the other translations anymore. If the speaker is in Japan, I think it is perfectly normal to ask, "Why did you come to Japan?"

I referenced from the Chinese. 去 means "to go". Maybe, the Chinese is incorrect then? I'll change it back. It seems the rest are based on the English sentence.
Should've check the others first.

I see. The best thing to do in such situations, when the sentence in itself is correct, just not a correct translation, is to add a new sentence with the correct English translation of the Chinese sentence, and ask that the old English sentence and the Chinese sentence be unlinked. You can read about that here: http://blog.tatoeba.org/2010/02...n-tatoeba.html :)

Ah, ok I see. Thanks for the tips. I commented on the Chinese sentence to suggest the change, and it seems it has been changed by the user to the correct meaning. So all is ok now.

However, another question. It seems the Afrikaans is now an indirect translation. Should I add another Afrikaans translation with the direct translation?

If you think the Afrikaans has the same meaning as the English one, you can ask to link them, that way the English will after appears as a direct translation of the Afrikaans

because only users memebers of the "trusted users" category can create/delete links betweens sentences they own, and admins can do everythings ^^

In this case, the current Afrikaans indirect translation is not a complete direct translation. So, should I add another Afrikaans translation? Also, where can I see who's trusted users?

Then yep you can add a translation which suits better
as indirect translation indicate "this sentence has maybe the same rough meaning" and direct translation "this sentence is the real equivalent of X in language Y)

for trusted users as asked in the wall
