From a flag-design point of view, this is unnecesssarily complex. The two blue bars are very simple indeed, but the centre image, unfortunately, is in almost photographic detail. A good flag design should be able to be drawn by a six-year-old with two or three crayons and be recognizable after about five minutes of drawing. If you can drastically simplify the central design, it may work better.

Indeed, those flags are way more complex to use them here.
If you check it, the flags are only 30 times 20 pixels large images.

Strong support for the incantation bowl flag. I'm aware my provisional flag is bad and *one* of the other proposed flags should be used.

Based on all the responses, the language team's choice is to go to the incantation bowl flag.

The new language icon for Jewish Babylonian Aramaic will look like this: https://imgur.com/v1WBPnY

We will make this change in the next couple of weeks, if there are no objections :)

Most sentences in Hausa are orphaned. You can just adopt them, edit them, and drop them again.

Спасибо.

Thank you as always, @sharptoothed.

I'm trying to figure out why MUIRIEL suddenly jumped from position 3516 to position 82, despite the fact that she doesn't seem to have added any sentences in years, and only one of her sentences has been edited since April.

Awesome! Thank you, Pinari. ♥

@CK I listened to a few sentences having two audio, and it looks like one voice has a much lower volume that the other. This must not be very practical for learners of Turkish to listen to. I think this could be fixed by applying some audio gain normalization filter. I am talking about this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Audio_normalization

Audio normalization can be done before uploading the audio, and it’s better to do it before any lossy compression, to avoid loosing quality by re-encoding the mp3. In other words, best is to record → normalize → compress to mp3.

I don’t know if that could fit in your workflow though. Do you directly upload mp3s that you get from audio contributors? What about audio from Common Voice?

Another approach is to add a replay gain value as metadata to an already-compressed audio, so that the player will apply the normalization filter at play-time: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ReplayGain. The downside is that if the player does not support it, it doesn’t work.

I think something went wrong - if I click the number next to the word, I get the sentences that DO HAVE translations to the target language, rather than the sentences that DO NOT. This used to work properly.

Following feedback from Polgar1 and AlanF_US, I simplified the links in Tatominer.

Now there is only one link per row and it leads to both translated and untranslated sentences. The links to the "add a sentence" page of Tatoeba have all been removed. Lastly, the "Any word" button has been generalized to all pages.

I hope this new design will be less confusing for newcomers 😀

I've switched the language to English, which should merge it with the existing sentence!
