The following from the "terms of use" is not very clear.
Perhaps "phrases" should be "sentences." There is some other strange language usage, too. Maybe a native English speaker who knows French could help translate the original French page into English.
FROM: https://tatoeba.org/eng/terms_of_use
We are not generally opposed to using our content for commercial purposes. However, this choice depends primarily on contributors. Certain phrases, in particular audio, may be contributed with a non-marketing condition, and therefore will not have to be marketed.
We are not generally opposed to the use of the phrases contributed to our site entailing their modification, whether it is a modification of their content or of their sharing conditions. However, this choice depends primarily on contributors. Certain phrases, including audio, cannot be modified: those contributed with a condition of non-modification (eg. Creative Commons ND: No-Derivative) or a condition of sharing under the same conditions (for example the Creative CommonsSA: 4Share-Alike)
Good catch.
Here's the original French:
:::
Nous ne sommes généralement pas opposés à une utilisation de notre contenu à des fins mercantiles. Cependant, ce choix dépend avant tout des personnes contributrices. Certaines phrases, notamment audio, peuvent être contribuées avec une condition de non-commercialisation, et ne devront donc pas faire l’objet d’une commercialisation.
Nous ne sommes généralement pas opposés à une utilisation des phrases contribuées sur notre site impliquant leur modification, qu’il s’agisse d’une modification de leur contenu ou de leurs conditions de partage. Cependant, ce choix dépend avant tout des personnes contributrices. Certaines phrases, notamment audio, ne peuvent faire l’objet de modifications : celles contribuées avec une condition de non-modification (par exemple la mention Creative Commons ND : No-Derivative) ou une condition de partage dans les mêmes conditions (par exemple la mention Creative Commons SA : Share-Alike).
:::
And here's my updated translation:
:::
We are not generally opposed to using our content for commercial purposes. However, this choice depends ultimately on the individual contributor. Certain sentences, particularly in audio form, may be contributed with a prohibition on commercial use, and therefore must not be commercialized.
We are not generally opposed to usage of the sentences contributed to our site that involves modification of either their content or their sharing conditions. However, this choice depends ultimately on the individual contributor. Certain sentences, including those in audio form, cannot be modified: those contributed with a condition of non-modification (for example, Creative Commons ND: No-Derivative) or a condition of sharing under the same conditions (for example, the Creative CommonsSA: 4Share-Alike).
:::
Anyone should feel free to suggest further modifications to my wording. (I'm not placing a non-modification condition on it. :->)
Note also that I don't see anything on the Creative Commons website that corresponds exactly to "Creative Commons ND: No-Derivative" or "Creative CommonsSA: 4Share-Alike". Someone who understands what was meant should check the website and use the precise terms.
**Update on the UI**
Thanks to Lazar's efforts, Serbian is now available on tatoeba.org as a UI language!!!

* Tatoeba Top 30 Languages Interactive Graphs * have been updated:

In advanced search there's a checkbox "Owned by a self-identified native". Would it be reasonable to extend this functionality to "Owned or approved by a self-identified native"?

I wish there was a way to easily flag links to translations as being questionable. That would cover the case where a linked translation is correct as a sentence, but does not mean the same as the original sentence.
Of course one could go and write a comment on each questionable translation, but it is quite tedious, and it is easy to get sidetracked in the process. Or, as an advanced contributor, one could simply unlink the offending translations, but then nobody would probably notice.
I have seen the "unlink" tag, but I don't think a tag is enough.
See sentence #807032 for a current example.
What I normally do is the following.
I take notice who was the one to create the link. for example, #1508983 was linked by marcelostockle - you can see that in the logs. In this case it's a relatively simple case, he added his sentence as a translation. So I comment under his sentence asking him to verify his translation.
Sometimes it's more complicated than that. Sentence A and sentence B were added independently, and then someone linked them. In this case I comment under any of those tagging the person who linked them and asking them to verify the link.
I do something similar, but it is rather difficult to keep track of the sentences I have remarked on in this way. At least there is a page with all my sentence reviews, but no such thing for my translation review.
I wish some of this could be automated somehow, with notifications going out to those involved.
Bulgarian has been added as a User Interface language on dev Tatoeba.
Thanks a lot to the user ls404 who has been working hard and translating the entire website.
The last language enabled on dev website was Serbian, thanks to lazarljubenovic (Lazar on Transifex).
In case you want/wish/can help us to translate the UI into your native language, please let me know :) you can leave me a private message, email me - ricardo14@tatoeba.org or simply creating an account on Transifex and going through https://www.transifex.com/tatoe...ite/dashboard/
Thank you!

I would like to know why the FAQ is not published in the Kabyle interface although the translation is finished on Transifex.
Translating wiki content through Transifex is a new process. In this case, we simply didn't pay enough attention and we missed the Transifex notifications about how the FAQ was fully translated into Kabyle. So it was simply forgotten (sorry!).
The wiki is a separate application than the tatoeba.org website. The UI languages available on the wiki are actually not in sync with the languages available on tatoeba.org. Currently, the wiki doesn't support Kabyle yet. We first have to add it as a supported language then we have to manually add the Kabyle translations.
But in any case, we will make sure the Kabyle translation of the FAQ is made available soon :) Thanks for reporting it and thanks for translating!
Thanks.
It's online now: https://kab.wiki.tatoeba.org/articles/show/faq
I have a couple of questions:
(1) What would be a translation of "main" (or "main page") in Kabyle?
For instance, the URL of the English main page is like this:
https://en.wiki.tatoeba.org/articles/show/main
While for French it's "page-principale" instead of "main":
https://fr.wiki.tatoeba.org/art...age-principale
For each language the name in the URL is in the language itself. For now, I have named the Kabyle page "main" but it would be more suitable to have a string in Kabyle.
(2) Same question for the FAQ URL. Is it fine to leave it as "faq" or is there another acronym in Kabyle?
samir_t replied on another thread - https://tatoeba.org/eng/wall/sh...#message_35614
"The translation of "main" in Kabyle is "agejdan".
As for the FAQ URL, it would be better to leave it as "faq".
Thanks."
