I spoke with Trang about translating the "how to be a good contributor" manual in other languages.

http://blog.tatoeba.org/2010/02...n-tatoeba.html

I think the reasons to do it are clear - to exclude less people from understanding the project, getting trusted_user etc.

The problem is clear too - it's much work. But maybe for some languages we can find more than one volunteer to divide the work. So I begin^^: Is there anyone who would help me translate the guide from English to German?

Pour une transcription directe, je la trouve plutôt pas mal. Mais bon, il y a quelques endroits qui me titillent un peu l'oreille comme "Le plus nous sommes" qu'il ne m'a pas semblé en voir des masses dans ce que je lis d'habitude, ou bien le "Faites connaître votre amour" qui me parait un peu pompeux (sans compter le sous-entendu bien sur).
Pour ce type de document, il faudrait aller au-delà d'une traduction directe, mais malheureusement je n'ai pas la prose de Trang.

Someday we will have a wiki, and it will be easier to manage this kind of content...

Until then, best solution (in my opinion) would be to use Google Docs, like GrizaLeono did. I will then add a link to your Google Doc. I will add it before the introduction in the original article.

Google Docs is practical because if you want to correct some mistakes in your translation, you can correct directly from your Google Doc, without having to send me your updated version and waiting for me to upload it :)
You can also share you Google document with other people, so that they can help you translate.

(eo)Ofte okazas, ke ĝusta retradukaĵo el iu ĝusta tradukaĵo ne plu egalas al la komenca frazo, sed ja aperas, eble grize, sur ties paĝo.

Tion kaŭzas, interalie, ke diversaj lingvoj ne paralele distingas la alparolatojn. Ekzemple, la Esperanta "vi" aŭ la latina "tu" povas respondi al du formoj en la franca ("tu" kaj "vous"), al kvar en la Hispanuja hispana ("tú", "vosotros", "usted", "ustedes"), al kvar tre kutimaj kaj du pliaj en la hungara ("te", "ti", "maga", "maguk", "Ön", "Önök"), al nenombreble multaj en la vietnama kaj en aliaj lingvoj, en kiuj oni simile anstataŭ pronomojn uzas vortojn kun signifo "frato", "fratino", "frat(in)eto", "avo", "avino", "onklo", "onkleto", k. t. p. Ekzemple, "Li havas sep filojn" povas esti tradukata al la hispana per : "Tiene siete hijos", kiu povus esti tradukata al : "Ŝi havas sep filojn" aŭ al : "Vi havas sep filojn".

Ĉu ni jam havas ian rimedon por tion malhelpi aŭ korekti ? Oni, almenaŭe, devus povi forviŝi tion, kio, pro ŝoviĝo al alia paĝo, ĉesis esti ĝusta.

Simile oni devus povi fari tiam, kiam iu el ni korektis iun frazon sian, sed ne aŭtomate korektiĝis aŭ forviŝiĝis la tradukajhoj faritaj el tiu frazo antaŭ la korektado.


(fr) Il arrive souvent qu'une traduction correcte d'une traduction correcte ne corresponde plus à la phrase de départ, mais apparaisse néanmoins, peut-être en gris, sous celle-ci.

Cela est dû, notamment, à ce que des langues différentes ne distinguent pas d'une façon parallèle les personnes auxquelles on s'adresse. Par exemple, le "vi" de l'espéranto ou le "tu" du latin peuvent correspondre à deux formes du français "tu" ou "vous", à quatre de l'espagnol d'Espagne ("tú", "vosotros", "usted", "ustedes"), à quatre très courantes et à deux autres du hongrois ("te", "ti", "maga", "maguk", "Ön", "Önök"), à d'innombrables mots du vietnamien et d'autres lngues dans lesquelles on emploie semblablement en guise de pronoms des mots signifiant "frère", "sœur", "petit frère ou petite sœur", "grand-père", "grand-mère", "oncle", "petit oncle", etc. Par exemple, "Il a sept fils" peut être traduit en espagnol notamment par : "Tiene siete hijos", qui peut à son tour être traduit par : "Elle a sept fils" ou par : "Vous avez sept fils".

Disposons-nous déjà d'un moyen pour empêcher ou corriger cela ? On devrait au moins pouvoir effacer ce qui, en changeant de page, a cessé d'être exact.

On devrait pouvoir faire de même lorsque, l'un d'entre nous ayant modifié l'une des phrases dont il est le "propriétaire", les traductions faites avant cette correction ne sont pas automatiquement corrigées ou effacées.

Dans la structure de Tatoeba, les phrases ne doivent correspondre que 2 à 2 et plusieurs traductions d'une phrase dans la même langue sont admises.
Donc lorsque vous traduisez une phrase, vous ne devez pas tenir compte des autres traductions. Cela ne sert à rien parce que ça n'est pas la structure de Tatoeba, qui permet justement des relations multiples et diverses entre les phrases.
Les liens apparaissant en gris sont des traductions indirectes de la phrase située en tête. Il est normal qu'elles puissent diverger totalement de la phrase de tête, justement par les mécanismes que vous décrivez.
Tout ceci est expliqué en détail dans le guide du contributeur que je vous invite à consulter https://docs8.google.com/docume...YOPdQn4&hl=fr#

Another potentially bad idea...

How about giving contribution points for making links?

Okay, okay, there ARE major drawbacks:

- Careless linking
- Trusted users only
- "Why do we want to encourage contribution points? We're here because we want to contribute, and not because we want to be ranked high on the chart."

But... I do think people care about their contribution points, which is why the ladder exists. Some care more than others. Perhaps if you got 0.1 contribution points for linking a sentence, it would give users greater incentives to spend more time linking and less time creating new sentences.

Anyway, I warned you that this might be a bad idea, but there it is.

IMHO we should pay much more attention to links in general.

There is no information when someone deletes a link, there is no “Recent (Un)linking” page to see them… And no way to see the number of links to the sentences in certain language (it can be a way to motivate people to create new links to promote their language, not create endless duplicates).

IMHO, links are also very important.

General Question:

What's Tatoeba's official policy on a user's behavior? Specifically, if a user flat out uses insulting names to refer to other users (i.e. calling them dogs), derides them (i.e. by creating a caricature and building on it), and makes fun of them in a way that an immature high schooler would, do the moderators take action or is the user allowed to continue? I don't think this has been addressed at all since the problem hasn't really come up much (if at all) before, but as it has now, it would be nice to hear the official stance on this.

I don't think there is much official policy yet, but if a user is disruptive _and_ useless I'm sure action would be taken in short order. Otherwise you have to weigh up their contributions against the risk that the feel of the Tatoeba community will be affected enough to discourage other people from taking part.

and what about the chirpings ?

TRANG TRANG August 5, 2010 August 5, 2010 at 8:11:27 PM UTC link Permalink

My current position is that Tatoeba should not get involved in personal conflicts. Unfortunately, we cannot prevent them from happening, but all we can do is to remind people that this is not a warzone, this is not high school, and everyone has to make an effort to behave as a civilized human being.

A few good practices to remember are:
1) To NEVER reply to provocation with more provocation, even if it's tempting.
2) To ALWAYS solve personal conflicts in private, not in public.

We also have to understand that whenever tensions appear, everyone who is part of the conflict has their own responsibility for it. It really makes it easier to solve conflicts when people can, for once, forget about their ego, stop looking at others flaws and instead, look at their own mistakes and admit them.

At any rate, I don't want to threaten people with censorship or punishment, because this is not the solution. Tensions originate first of all from misunderstandings, so the only real solution is to lift up these misunderstandings... which requires an effort of communication.

The best thing moderators can do is point out to rule #14 of the contributors' guide (which I will reformulate to include more thoughts on good behavior).

If despite of everything, someone wants to continue insulting other members, well... Technically they can. But socially, they can't. Because by doing so, they will generate a terrible image of themselves, they will lose everyone's respect and they will be completely ignored since no one will want to waste time talking to them. I don't think anyone in their right mind would want to end up like that...

Je tiens à soulever ici le problème de l'intervention de modérateurs pour arbitrer des différents de définition de langages qui ne sont pas les leurs.
En effet, je me trouve de manière répétée dans la situation suivante;
1) un non-natif crée une phrase dans ma langue natale
2) j'indique qu'un mot de cette phrase ne fait pas partie de cette langue
3) L'auteur, par des pirouettes multiples, prétend à l'appartenance à un dialecte imaginaire
4) des modérateurs non-natifs de cette langue, voire qui ne la parlent pas du tout interviennent dans le débat, pour certains EN ANGLAIS, au mépris de la langue d'origine de la discussion et prétendent vouloir définir ce qu'est un dialecte ou un anglicisme de la langue dont ils ne sont pas natifs ou qu'ils ne parlent même pas du tout.

J'estime que les modérateurs non-natifs de la langue en question outrepassent leur droit d'intervention quand ils prennent parti dans un tel débat, d'autant plus quand ils ne parlent pas cette langue.
Et en tout état de cause, il est encore plus inacceptable que ces mêmes modérateurs interviennent dans ces débats dans LEUR LANGUE, plutôt que dans la langue en question.

J'attire l'attention sur le fait que les anglophones sont particulièrement mal placés pour définir des langues comme le français et les règles qui peuvent s'y appliquer puisque ces langues sont des constructions totalement différentes, avec des histoires différentes, des objets différents, des institutions différentes, des références différentes.
Par ailleurs, la notion de dialecte ne saurait être étendue à l'acceptation de vocabulaire d'une langue étrangère traduit mot à mot et utilisé par des non-natifs de la langue concernée, auquel cas nous serions obligés de considérer que tous les mots de toutes les langues sont acceptés dans toutes les langues, ce qui serait une absurdité et finirait par les diluer dans une espèce de magma sans nom.
Je constate ainsi que des milliers de phrases françaises (et j'imagine d'autres langues), dont beaucoup sont douteuses, sont détenues par des non-natifs militants de ce "dialectalisme effrené". A cette échelle, cela met en cause la validité et la crédibilité du corpus de la langue considérée et démotive les contributeurs natifs qui voient leurs contributions de qualité à égalité avec ces traductions fantaisistes.
La proposition systématique des modérateurs, sorte de sésame universel, est d'appliquer des étiquettes adéquats.
Mais ceci pose 2 problèmes:
1) les phrases valides et non valides restent à égalité visuelle, donc par exemple pour un apprenant qui ne lirait pas les étiquettes (voire qui ne saurait pas les comprendre), elle sont également valides.
2) les tags peuvent être appliqués et supprimés par les modérateurs sans laisser de trace, ce qui ramène au problème de l'indépendance de la modération.

Je fais par ailleurs remarquer qu'il n'est pas non plus acceptable que des modérateurs dont la fonction est, justement, la modération, prennent parti dans le débat et caricaturent l'opinion des contributeurs, voire appellent au meurtre de ceux qui ont une opinion différente d'eux, comme ici http://tatoeba.org/epo/sentences/show/535374

A couple of weeks ago or so I noticed that there were only 200 Japanese sentences not translated into English. I asked for a 'Japanese->English translation drive' and actually got that down to 182 (IIRC).

So, today, I've just got it down to 181 sentences from 202. At this rate it should take just under seven years to translate all Japanese sentences into English.
