Any guesses when the CycL flag will be added. I'm eager to relabel my sentences away from English, and to add more!

The CycL flag that you sent looks good! Thank you.
For Maori, I can't actually carry out the last step, since, alas, I don't speak Maori. I'll try to elicit them though!

I can no longer find the search that gave me the French sentences without English translations. I did see it once though, and it was great! Can the "search box" at the top, have an "advanced" check box that gives you options like that?

"If you feel there are several possible translations, note that for a same sentence, you can add several translations in the same language."

Should be "Note that if you feel that there are several good translations in the same language for a single sentence, you can add more than one."

I think, that as this ramps up, the problem indicated will become more serious. At least it might be worth thinking about whether the system could detect a possible game of "telegram" going on, and warn people (e.g. warn people if they are editing a sentence that is the source of a bunch of sentences in other languages).

In the UI, in English, "Notify mistakes" should read "Report mistakes".

preterite is the technical name for this in English

By the way, when you first said flag, I thought you meant "tag" so that you could find them, .... hence the comments on the sentences.

I've put in some example CycL sentences, but I had to mark them as English (well, I didn't have to, but marking them as French or Swahili would have been worse). Sentence nº427971 is an example.

I'm not sure about a flag for CycL. It will be an interesting day when AI systems feel the need to have flags. I think it would be OK to use the OpenCyc logo from the top of http://sw.opencyc.org/ if you wanted.

For all that this thread is a bit tendentious, on purely aesthetic grounds, not having "project" in the logo would probably be an improvement. I think that calling the project "tatoeba" is probably better too (e.g. Wikipedia is just called "Wikipedia" rather than "Wikipedia Project").

It would be great if the number of sentences was dynamically updated. Or even updated whenever the front page loaded. This should be cheap to do.

How does one get languages added? I believe I could encourage contributions in Slovenian and in CycL (there's a wikipedia page describing this language ), and I'd love to see contributions in Māori.
