Is there any way to search for an exact sentence? Several times, I've translated something into a simple English sentence that I couldn't find in the web of translations or with the search bar, only to find that the sentence was a duplicate as I had suspected.

="your sentence starting with a equal and enclosed by quote, it's case unsensitive"

That doesn't seem to work exactly. For example, if I search ="are you ready?", I also get things like "Are you ready to eat?". In this case, it's easy enough to find the correct sentence in the search, but sometimes you have to go through many, many pages of search results to get to it.

Try putting a = before your sentence.

=your sentence will only search exact match of "your" + sentence not "your sentence"

When the next Tatoeba Day will be?

As I didn't participate to the last one (because of my birthday :P), I really would like one soon!

Any idea about the next possible date/mini competition to organize?

I’d also like the new Tatoeba day.
I didn’t participate in the previous one either, because I was in Lvov. ^^

We could do both, and then there will be a Tatoeba day each month. However, that's really a nice day, danepo!

Another thing: The tagging with "less than 8 words" or "10 silables" for example seems to me a candidate for automation via script. There might be databases for silable-seperation or -counting. Does anyone know if and how this can be done?

The words thing should be relatively easy for most languages (it might be harder for Chinese and Japanese, since word boundaries are not obvious).

Syllables would be easy for some languages (e.g. Chinese), harder for others (e.g. any language with phonetic spelling, though it would have to be customized for each), and very hard for some (e.g. English).

for Chinese I've made a sentence analyser so it's should be possible too :) and anyway if we can do that autotically for 90% of the language we support, it's already far better than nothing :)

I thought of adding grammatical information, like case, sex etc. But maybe this destroys/damages the sense of adding a second translation if unclear or to think of a better translation.

jakov jakov January 2, 2011 January 2, 2011 at 10:10:21 PM UTC flag Report link Permalink

It would be nice if the combining of sentences would go via AJAX and for that would wait a second or two, before sending, so that one could add another sentence by just one request.

So, for example, http://tatoeba.org/eng/links/add/**one**/**two**
would get something like http://tatoeba.org/eng/links/add/**one**/**two**,**three**,**four**

Les espaces avant les points d'interrogation ont été supprimées sur toutes mes phrases françaises sans qu'il y ait de trace modification...Une explication ?

Il y a eu un remplacement automatique des espaces par des espaces fines insécables, et l'ajout d'une espace fine insécable dans le cas où il n'y en avait pas (pour les phrases françaises).

Donc normalement il y a bien une espace pour vos phrases, mais c'est une espace fine donc ça se voit moins.

(ah ce propos il faut que tu corriges un petit truc, car les personnes qui comme sacredceltic et moi avions déjà mis des espaces insécables, nos phrases on a présent deux espaces, un fine insécable, et un insécable)

sacredceltic sacredceltic December 31, 2010 December 31, 2010 at 2:40:21 PM UTC flag Report link Permalink

Les espaces insécables à la française sont toujours parfaitement visibles, comme vous pouvez le constater ici http://www.lemonde.fr/retrospec...2_1453557.html ou bien ici http://books.google.fr/books?id...ed=0CCMQ6AEwAA
En effet, à la manière des double-points en début de phrases de la langue espagnole, les espaces avant les double-points françaises participent de la lisibilité et de la compréhension des phrases affectées. On sait à l'avance, sans même lire le contenu, que la phrase qu'on va lire sera une question ou une exclamation parce qu'on aperçoit déjà clairement, détaché, le double-point correspondant.
Une solution où l'espace insécable serait invisible n'est donc en aucun cas acceptable pour la langue française.
Or là, ils sont bien invisibles, et il n'y a aucune différence visuelle entre l'espace fine et pas d'espace du tout. Ce n'est donc pas acceptable.

Par ailleurs, je déplore que des modifications soient opérées sur les phrases à l'insu de leurs auteurs et sans qu'il n'y en ait aucune trace dans les historiques.
