Feature suggestion:
Mark sentences as "not directly linked".

Reason / Why does it help?
Short: Working together on finding directly linkable sentences gets enabled.

If someone tries to find indirectly linked sentences, that could be directly linked, he/she can use this search:
https://tatoeba.org/eng/sentenc...io=&sort=words

He/She reads through all 65 pages of sentences and figured, all indirectly linked sentences are not directly linkable.

Now a second user wants to do the same: Trying to directly link indirectly linked sentences. This second user will also have to read through all 65 pages of sentences to figure, there is nothing to do.

Bug report for linking sentences:
Reproduce:
(1) The following link shows Japanese sentences with indirect German links: https://tatoeba.org/eng/sentenc...io=&sort=words
Open it.
(2) Link an indirectly linked sentence.
(3) <sentence gets linked>
(4)
Expected: <Except of the fact, that the sentence is now linked nothing should've changed.>
Actual: < All other languages for that sentence also get shown >

Search is finding sentences that do not contain the specified word. This was reported 24 days ago (see link 1 below), and @gillux made a change that he thought might have fixed the problem, but apparently it didn't. For instance, a general search for "Tom" in English (see link 2 below) brings up these sentences:

Damn.
#1078143

Beat it.
#37902

Damn you!
#1135061

We talked.
#2107672

How unfortunate!
#2111810

These sentences are owned by a variety of people, and the logs don't reveal anything that suggests that they ever contained the word "Tom". Nor do all the sentences contain a tag, or audio. However, they are all short. If I set the sort order to random or to longest sentences first, I don't see any false hits.

Could it be that the search engine has seen so many sentences with "Tom" that it now hallucinates them even in sentences that don't contain the word?

I reported this problem on GitHub as well:

*Mathematics tag unification, experiences from doing it by hand*

TLDR: Tag maintenance is, at the moment, a grueling and thankless job. I recommend not doing it without further tools, except as the opportunity presents itself while going about your other business.

TLDR: Please add the "mathematics" tag to relevant sentences. Please do not add and please do remove the "maths" tag.

Background: I find translations of mathematics sentences helpful. At the moment, there are many untagged sentences, as well as the following tags (and probably others in other languages):

mathematics, 1676 sentences: https://tatoeba.org/deu/tags/sh..._with_tag/1938
maths, 432: https://tatoeba.org/deu/tags/sh...ces_with_tag/2
mathématique, 128: https://tatoeba.org/deu/tags/sh..._with_tag/5118
Mathematik, 70: https://tatoeba.org/deu/tags/sh..._with_tag/9199
matematik, 3: https://tatoeba.org/deu/tags/sh...with_tag/10262

I went through all the sentences with "maths" tag and added the "mathematics" tag. Probably I missed a few and mistyped a few. I did not remove the "maths" tag, as I do not have the power to do that.

Suggestion: Please use/add the "mathematics" tag to relevant sentences. The "maths" tag has exactly the same meaning, less sentences (especially now), and is less regionally neutral; it seems to used in UK, whereas in North America "math" seems to be preferred. Having two different tags makes it trickier to find relevant sentences.
I also recommend adding the "mathematics" tag in addition to any other non-English tag, as per Tatoeba tag guidelines, English tags should be used.

My workflow was to have a list of sentences with "maths" and not "mathematics", copy a sentence number, switch to browser, select the address bar, highlight the sentence number, replace with the new one, enter. Click on the text box for writing tags (possibly after moving the mouse, because the box is in different place based on how many and how long tags the sentence already has) and write "mathematics". Enter. While the page is loading, fetch the next sentence number. Sometimes translate the sentence or open linked sentences to also tag those.

This is very inefficient for a human to do. It requires using mouse (or careful tabbing, I guess) in addition to the keyboard, and manually writing "mathematics", since the sentence numbers occupy the clipboard.

Some possibilities for messing with tags on a large number of sentences. I think any of these should require a conversation and consensus on the wall, pretty much.

1. Manual ad-hoc solution by admins. Not sustainable or a good idea.

2. Separate tag management user interface, available to users of high privilege, with possibility of declaring tags as synonyms, deleting tags, replacing a tag with another, etc. Would require a lot of work to implement, I guess (but do not really know).

3. A bot that can do the above. A user would operate it. Since tags move slowly, the bot could be run on fixed and slow schedule, or just be operated "by hand" to do a given operation on tags. It should leave a comment so that misbehaviour would be easier to detect. I have no idea how demanding this would be to implement.

4. Integrating tags with the search engine more fully would make tag management a bit more convenient in terms of workflow, and also increase the value of tags. This would mean the ability to restrict a search to a tag or a set of tags, exclude tags, etc. No idea about the difficult of implementation.

Suggestions 2 and 3 could be combined, I guess - a user interface could create a list of actions on tags, which the bot would then implement as its own pace.

Hello everyone, I'm back!
It's been years since I became a member. I still wonder if Tatoeba is now available in Android because today many people here use smartphone more often than computer. Still, for me the interface of this site isn't so userfriendly in web browser, not to mention that my slow internet speed here in the place I live is frustrating. I hope I can find new way to continue contributing Indonesian and Sundanese sentences effortlessly.

Thanks.

1. This will jump to a randomly-selected English sentence that had no linked translations on 2019-10-05.

2. When clicking the "Next Random Page" button, Chrome and Opera, at least on a Mac, will start playing the audio right away, often before the page has finished loading. Firefox didn't autoplay the audio for me.


Here are some variations.

http://bit.ly/rndengaudio2 (33,468 sentences with audio)
This does the same as above, but all the sentences have 16 or more direct links.

http://bit.ly/rndengaudio3 (27,735 sentences with audio)
This one has sentences with 11 to 15 direct links.

The one at the top of the page has 22,320 sentences.

The last 2 limited to higher sentences numbers also are limited to newer audio, so they may be better sounding.

Dear fellow Tatoebans!

As you probably know, the search engine on Tatoeba treats some characters specially. For example, the search results for ="tom", ="Tom", ="ToM" and so on are the same, and searching for ="?" doesn't find anything.

However, recently it was discovered ( https://tatoeba.org/eng/wall/sh...#message_32566 ) that the German ß was not treated correctly. Since such a common character in the sixth-most used language was affected, I suspected that there might be similar problems with characters in other languages and decided to investigate. As it turns out, there are quite a lot!

Some background on the search engine's inner workings: when someone searches for a word like "ToM", a list of mappings T → t, o → o, M → m is used to transform it into "tom" and that is the word that will really be searched for. Any unknown characters are removed. Using this system, it is not possible to treat for example Latin "A", Greek "Α" and Cyrillic "А" as identical without also doing the same for their lower-case equivalents "a", "α" and "а". That would mean Greek search results for words using the Latin alphabet, which may not be desirable.

So when deciding which characters to make the same, it's necessary to make a tradeoff between finding more results with variant characters and still being able to distinguish distinct words that only differ in which variant they use. Fortunately, it's possible to make a different decision for each language.

Below I have listed characters for which changes may need to be made and the affected languages with sentences containing those characters. I hope everyone reading this can take some time looking at the languages they speak and consider what the best decision in each case is.

Disclaimer: I do not speak for the Tatoeba team and there's no guarantee anything will happen as a result of this post.

# Duplicate Encodings

For historical reasons, there are some identical characters that have multiple computer codes to represent them, but there shouldn't be any need to distinguish them.

ά → ά έ → έ ή → ή ί → ί ό → ό ύ → ύ ώ → ώ Affects: Ancient Greek [grc]

不 → 不 粒 → 粒 行 → 行 Affects: Cantonese [yue], Literary Chinese [lzh]



# Duplicate Encodings (multiple codepoints)

I'm listing characters involving multiple codepoints separately, because they require larger changes to Tatoeba's search engine. What is a codepoint? Think about it like the keys you press on a keyboard to type a character like "à": the key for the accent and the key for "a". So "à" consists of two codepoints. But there's also "à" with a single codepoint, like a keyboard with a special key to type "à" directly.

à → à á → á â → â ã → ã ä → ä ả → ả å → å ạ → ạ ć → ć ĉ → ĉ ç → ç è → è é → é ê → ê ẹ → ẹ ę → ę ĝ → ĝ ḥ → ḥ ì → ì í → í ỉ → ỉ ị → ị ĵ → ĵ ň → ň ò → ò ó → ó õ → õ ö → ö ỏ → ỏ ọ → ọ ǫ → ǫ ṛ → ṛ ŝ → ŝ ṣ → ṣ ş → ş ṭ → ṭ ù → ù ú → ú ũ → ũ ŭ → ŭ ü → ü ủ → ủ ụ → ụ ý → ý ẓ → ẓ ầ → ầ ấ → ấ ẫ → ẫ ậ → ậ ề → ề ế → ế ễ → ễ ệ → ệ ố → ố ỗ → ỗ ổ → ổ ằ → ằ ắ → ắ ẳ → ẳ ặ → ặ ờ → ờ ớ → ớ ở → ở ợ → ợ ừ → ừ ứ → ứ ữ → ữ ử → ử ự → ự Affects: Berber [ber], Cayuga [cay], Esperanto [epo], Finnish [fin], French [fra], Hungarian [hun], Interlingue [ile], Italian [ita], Kabyle [kab], Lingala [lin], Navajo [nav], Russian [rus], Serbian [srp], Shuswap [shs], Spanish [spa], Swedish [swe], Tatar [tat], Turkish [tur], Turkmen [tuk], Vietnamese [vie], Yoruba [yor]
