If you want your own sentence be deleted, you can edit and replace the text with DELETE.

I unlinked it from the Turkish. Now just copy and paste it to the right place.

目前僅有進階參與者可以編輯注音 (transcription)。

我不太確定您說的「All My Sentences」上可以編輯注音是怎麼回事，一般來說普通參與者是不可以編輯注音的。

This is not what you asked for, but you can search English sentences containing "official" with Turkish translations this way:
https://tatoeba.org/zh-tw/sente...rd_count_min=1

By setting "limit to" and specifying "Language:" in the Translation field, you can limit the search results to only show sentences with translation(s) in that language.

See the "create search template" button in the advanced search.

I don't see this as a problem at all.

Many languages DO have (in my opinion) words that are fairly good matches for English words such as "this", "that", "he/she", etc. If language X has no way natural of translating these terms in a way that roughly mirrors their dependence on an implied context, then perhaps such sentences should simply remain untranslated into language X. Or, as is also common practice here, such sentences could be linked to multiple possible translations in language X, in the case that language X requires greater specificity on a certain contextual point than English. (For instance, many English sentences using the 2nd person are translated into Russian using both ты and вы.)

I don't think the goal of Tatoeba should be to make sure that all sentences are translated into all possible languages, and in fact it is near impossible (or requires enormous creativity) to translate some sentences into other languages without destroying crucial bits of humor, wordplay, irony or ambiguity.

I also disagree strongly that your examples lack informational value. The informational value is just dependent on the context, making them ambiguous and non-self-contained, which is the case for much natural human speech. Is "He told *her that he likes her" really that much less interesting of a sentence to you than "Tom told Mary that he likes her"?

Looks like the vision you have for Tatoeba is not what other people mostly see it as. Ambiguity isn't a problem since we understand that all valid (i.e. occurring in natural speech/writing) sentences are acceptable, and, naturally, many of them are context-dependent. Two sentences being linked as translations does not at all imply that the translations must be unique; in many cases, multiple translations are possible, and Tatoeba allows us to link them all.

Like Franklin said, if language B requires greater specificity than language A in some situations so a sentence using context-dependent words like pronouns cannot be translated 'literally', you may like to add multiple possible translations, each meant for different contexts. I imagine this would be a good way to show learners that this kind of sentences cannot be translated to language B as they are, but must be specified in some way, depending on what exactly the pronoun (or some other context-dependent word) refers to.

En alkaisi kieltämään lauseita, mutta olen samaa mieltä siitä, että lause on yleensä kiinnostavampi jos siinä mainitaan "leivänpaahdin" kuin "se", ja mikä tahansa muu nimi kuin Tom. Tämä johtaa monipuolisempaan tietokantaan.

The common practice is to add the green check mark, no? Like we did on this sentence of Martha: https://tatoeba.org/eo/sentences/show/891038

http://a4esl.org/temporary/tatoeba/native.html#cmn
I have Martha on this list as a native speaker of Mandarin Chinese.
She likely hasn't been back since TRANG added the language field in profiles.

I use her sentences on my English-Mandarin pages.
https://www.manythings.org/bilingual/cmn/

BTW, in the early years of using data from the Tatoeba Corpus, I wrote PMs to many members asking them what their native languages were to compile the original "/tatoeba/native.html" list, so I could filter out non-native speaker sentences for languages I can't proofread myself.

My main concern is that a self-proclaimed native status doesn't always guarantee quality.

​Although Martha claims to be a native Mandarin speaker (as seen in her comments here: https://tatoeba.org/zh-tw/sentences/show/793310), many Chinese contributors have found her sentences to be quite problematic. Currently, 130 of her sentences are tagged with @change, which is a staggering amount considering there are only 701 such tags in the entire Chinese corpus. I have also been personally encountering many of her questionable sentences lately.

​It’s a recurring issue where sentences from users who identify as "native speakers" often have a surprisingly high probability of being unnatural or incorrect.

​On the other hand, some contributors who don’t claim native status produce much more reliable work. DaoSeng, for instance, rarely has any issues. In our private correspondence, he mentioned that because he immigrated to North America as a child, he doesn't feel his Chinese or English reaches a true "native" level. It’s a bit of a paradox that such high-quality contributions are often overlooked simply because the author is being modest about their proficiency, while "native" claims are taken at face value despite poor results.

This problem should be solved now. Thank you for reporting it!
