actually, around 400 languages are spoken in India...
What about the languages spoken in both Pakistan and India ? And Bangladesh and India ? And Sri Lanka and India ?...Should Tibetan also be represented by the People's Republic of China's flag ?!

The idea that a language should equate a flag is at the heart of most wars as it has been over thousands of years...

There's a bug on the profile details: I can't set a birth year before 1970. Is this place age-segregated ?

But what's the point if "my" sentences remain mine and only mine, instead of becoming part of the lot ?
You mean we're all doing work in our corner. For what purpose ?

A sentence I added yesterday cannot yet be found. Is that normal ?
It is quite frustrating not to see the result of one's work...

As for me, I will just not bother with retranslations anymore, they're just a waste of time!

sacredceltic sacredceltic July 18, 2010 July 18, 2010 at 7:12:05 PM UTC link Permalink

Already we see that direct translations from l1 to l2 and to l3 end up with 2 sentences in l2 and l3 that don't match in most cases, so the discrepancy is just too important.
Subsequently, I think retranslations, that compound theses discrepancies, shouldn't simply appear on the same sentence detail. Retranslations are just different sentences altogether when they happen to make any sense at all...

I think there is a massive problem with the system: The absence of a "pivot" sentence.
In effect, I see numerous cases when a sentence s1 is given in language l1 then translated into s2 in l2, then retranslated from s2 in l1 resulting in s1' and re-retranslated in l3, etc...this is endless, because s1, s1', s1''... are all different...
This happens all the time when there are no one-to-one translation or words don't correspond 100% and the meaning slips slowly from one translation to the next, which happens actually in a majority of the cases because no 2 words ever perfectly match in 2 differnet languages...

the response time is lagging terribly...

et que se passe-t-il quand le robot détecte un conflit de traductions ?

Je comprends qu'un contrôle de l'apport en masse est nécessaire, bien sûr.
Dans quel format voulez-vous les traductions ?

sacredceltic sacredceltic July 17, 2010 July 17, 2010 at 11:34:35 PM UTC link Permalink

est-il possible d'importer des phrases "en masse" ?
Je dispose d'environ 4000 phrases français/allemand

Que se passe-t-il si une même phrase dans une même langue est créée plusieurs fois par plusieurs contributeurs lors de traductions à partir de langues différentes ? Est-ce que Tatoeba opère le rapprochement automatique ?

sacredceltic sacredceltic July 17, 2010 July 17, 2010 at 11:28:13 PM UTC link Permalink

no, tags should not be kept inEnglish. Tags are tags. They're user-defined according to need and it's an international project...
My view is actually that tags are irrelevant, but that's another issue...

OK. Je souhaite participer. Je peux contribuer en français/anglais/allemand/néerlandais.
Qu'est-ce que l'UTC ?

a name and a descriptive word are quite different entities..."Project" definitely qualifies your project as an English-language one. It thus uselessly deters non-English speakers, creating a bias in your contributors representation. Is that what you're seeking ?

comment est-on informé qu'une traduction est validée ?
Je viens de créer une phrase et sa traduction et je ne la retrouve pas quand je recherche un mot-clé...

sacredceltic sacredceltic July 17, 2010 July 17, 2010 at 11:00:35 PM UTC link Permalink

you should start with removing the english word 'Project' from your logo...That would help!

sacredceltic sacredceltic July 17, 2010 July 17, 2010 at 10:57:15 PM UTC link Permalink

Il n'empêche, la grande majorité de ce que je vois ici est en anglais et les quelques phrases en français sont incorrectes...
Exemple, dans la rubrique "Astuces": "Ici vous pouvez DEMANDER des questions..."
En français, on ne "demande" pas des questions, on les "'pose".

How come everything here is in English in this "multilingual" project ?!?
