Thanks!

Thanks :)

May I ask, how do you sort the sentences? Do you have a special program for that? If yes, is the program open-soursed?

There are different possible ways to work on featured words:
- translating sentences with them into other languages;
- adding new sentences with them;
- improving already existing sentences with them: editing, tagging, adopting and correcting orphan sentences, leaving explanations of idioms and other tricky cases.
- linking existing indirect translations that exactly match.

I see. Thanks for the clarification.

Thanks for your kind words, OsoHombre. I'll do my best to translate Arabic sentences into Russian.

@OsoHombre,

Your tone seems agressive, or I'm wrong? I didn't intend to offend you or any other member.
Maybe, it wasn't a good idea to use the same English word which your had chosen to promote (I wasn't the only one member who did that, though). Anyway, to avoid any misunderstanding, I'll provide words of my own choice next time.

English word "TV", not limited by any specific user's contributions or lists:

https://tatoeba.org/eng/sentenc...rom=eng&to=und

Note: displaying all possible results, not limited by any personal lists or specific user's contribution, gives more opportunites, i.e:
- all variations of English (British, American, Canadian, Australian);
- variety of personal and geographical names, not limited by "wild cards" or any other individual preferences;
- ability to recognize and promote every user's contribution equally.

In the other hand, please keep in mind that some of those sentences most likely have grammar, orthographical and/or stylistic mistakes and typos. If you catch them, please leave a comment. Let's make Tatoeba better!

@OsoHombre,
You're welcome.
Yes, I see, there are people with different levels of knowledge in languages. I do my best to translate sentences on Tatoeba correctly, but some of them are beyond my abilities. That's very nice from you. Sure, I'll ask you if I'm in doubt how to translate a certain sentence, cause in many cases knowing the context is cruicial for translating.

@OsoHombre
I see. I translated most of your "hotel" sentences in Russian (not all of them, cause some of them are too advanced for me). The other reason I probably skipped some sentences is the random order, cause when I go from one page to another some sentences repeat due to that order. And some others probably don't appear at all.

Thanks both CK and Pfirsichbaeumchen for sharing their words!
That's really cool.

Thanks. I hope it will be a new tradition. (I mean words of the day in different languages).

It's only a random example. There were lots of mistakes and typos of different kinds. You can have a look at the logs.
It seems he corrected most of his mistakes (maybe all of them, I didn't really follow it).

I completely agree. The main feature of it should be the possibility to display or ignore whole categories of sentences using user's settings.

I suggest such categories:
1) Standard: grammatically correct and natural sentences, which fit in official rules of the given language and are suitable for all learners.
2) Dialect: regional dialects of languages, which aren't known by most native speakers from other regions.
3) Archaic.
4) Non-standard: colloquial forms which don't fit in official rules. They're useful for communication, but it's better to avoid them on exams.
5) Vulgar and adult (could be two separate categories or one). Contains curse words and/or adult content, might be not appropriate for children.
6) Less than natural: grammatically correct, but unlikely used in real life "texbook style" sentences.
7) @change or delete.

I suggest also categories to specify a country: "British English", "American English", "Brazilian Portugese", "Continental Portugese", etc.
