Preset Searches for Study on Tatoeba.org

http://bit.ly/searchesforstudy

I made this as a modified advanced search with a few presets options.
Perhaps some members may find this useful.

1. show only sentences by members who claim to be native speakers.
2. random sort

You can easily change a few other options.

Create a Dashboard of Customized Links for Tatoeba.org

http://goo.gl/RzP8hV

It's been updated to include a few new items.

If you are a regular user of this, you may need to force a reload to get the new version of the external .js file.

For people who haven't yet tried this, ...

1. This will load in faster than tatoeba.org, since it will cache on your own computer and doesn't require a connection to the database.

- If you just need to get to the search or need to get some specific links, you can save time.

2. This is set up to give you several options for ways to find sentences to translate into your own language.

3. Once you have chosen the language you want to translate from and your native language, you can bookmark the resulting page, and access your bookmark. This means you don't have to set it up every time.

4. Members who like to translate from several languages, can easily set up and bookmark several versions of this. The external .js file that gets cached on your computer is the same one.

This doesn't have links to research papers yet, but there are links to projects that use the data.
I haven't updated it in a long time, so there are likely others by now.

I used to leave such comments for English-Japanese translations and tommy_san and others would leave Japanese-English translations for me that way.

Here are a few examples.

https://tatoeba.org/sentences/s...comment-764923 ちょっと待ってくれる？
https://tatoeba.org/sentences/s...comment-766130 トムの言ったことは的はずれだった。
https://tatoeba.org/sentences/s...comment-752252 トムはハーバードで法律の教育を受けた。
https://tatoeba.org/sentences/s...comment-744791 トムは時々会いに来る。
https://tatoeba.org/sentences/s...comment-716108 トムは泳げない。
https://tatoeba.org/sentences/s...comment-578157 トムは演説をしました。
https://tatoeba.org/sentences/s...comment-578158 トムは演説をしました。
https://tatoeba.org/sentences/s...comment-751721 ボストンまでどうやって行くつもり？
https://tatoeba.org/sentences/s...comment-411752 もう時間だ。

There seem to be 22 such example comments by me left. I usually delete the comments as soon as I notice someone has added the translations, so we did a lot more this way quite successfully.

Another method, is to go ahead and contribute the translation, if you are sure it's correct, and then release it (unown it). This is what several members do with the English. I often adopt such sentences when I proofread sentences.

Many of these are "outdated ratings", since corrections have been made.

The standard forum format might also be a good replacement for the Wall.

Often, when many comments are added to the same Wall post, it gets difficult to follow.

I think that wouldn't happen if we had a standard forum.

To maintain a somewhat similar feel to the website, it might be possible to show the forum titles on the right side of the home page, in much the same way that the current Wall messages are shown.

I wonder if it would be possible to adapt one of the open source online forums, using the same login usernames and passwords as tatoeba.org. Or, a CakaPHP plugin . https://github.com/CakeDC/cakephp-forum .

Here is a demo of the CakePHP-Forum.

Daily Contribution Averages for the Past 61 Months

I dream that the data would be of good quality so that anyone who had a great idea for a language learning application (or a language tool) could just focus on coding the application.

The way it is now, to use the sentences for language study requires someone (the developer or a trusted colleague) to proofread and choose sentences for the target language to be learned. Otherwise, students are exposed to bad examples of language usage.

I like what TRANG said in 2009.

So the concept is : we gather a lot of data, try to organize it, ensure it is of good quality and make it freely accessible, downloadable and redistributable, so that anyone who has a great idea for a language learning application (or a language tool) can just focus on coding the application and rely on us to provide data of excellent quality.

Here are a few stats on English that has not yet been translated into Turkish.

https://tatoeba.org/sentences/s...&has_audio=yes
46,321 English sentences with audio, not yet translated into Turkish

https://tatoeba.org/eng/sentenc...o=tur&list=907
232,755 English sentences on List 907, not yet translated into Turkish

https://tatoeba.org/eng/sentenc...tur&native=yes
355,345 English sentences by self-identified native, not yet translated into Turkish

https://tatoeba.org/eng/sentenc...reated&user=CK
183,192 English sentences by CK, not yet translated into Turkish

https://tatoeba.org/eng/sentenc...ed&user=Hybrid
24,860 English sentences by Hybrid, not yet translated into Turkish

https://tatoeba.org/eng/sentenc...&user=AlanF_US
3,637 English sentences by AlanF_US, not yet translated into Turkish

https://tatoeba.org/eng/sentenc...ser=DostKaplan
285 English sentences by DostKaplan, not yet translated into Turkish


504158 English sentences, not yet translated into Turkish (with no attempt at filtering for qaulity)


Note that Turkish is the language which has translated the highest percentage of sentences on List 907. You can see recent stats for all languages here. http://tatoeba.ueuo.com/stats-2019-01-05.html

> (Seems like translation to Turkish has been less frequent in the last year??)

Judging from Sharptoothed's most-recent graph, the slope of the Turkish line looks pretty steady and not a great deal of change. This does show "contributions" and not "translations," so if a lot more Turkish sentences are being contributed that are not translations, then you may be right.
