Older sentences have exact dates like "Nov 8th 2009, 13:38" as time while recent sentences are dated like "4 days ago". Would be useful, if they had exact absolute dates too (at least additionally to the relative dates) because that would make it easier to tell which sentence is the original sentence and which is the translation. That's often not possible if both sentences have "4 days ago" or a similar identical time designation.
I agree. It would be useful for us to know which is the original sentence (maybe a different color or a sign in it?). And also a resource to list all our tags, so that we can delete those that have already been corrected (something like "my tags" in my profile).
I'm wondering in which cases you think it will be useful (I'm not saying it would not be useful, but I don't see clearly)
Well... First, about translations. Knowing which sentence is the original one, we would avoid a lot of discussions such as "Ohh, the English says A and the Spanish says B!". And I also think it would be pleasing for the owner to have his sentence underlined, since he added it...
What do you think about listing the tags? It would be even more important. Anyway, it's just a suggestion.
in the first case, that's the reason we have "unlink" :)
For the second argument, why not.
About listing tags, hmm it mainly makes sense with the @something tag, which i need to extract from normal tags in the new version, but yep it will definitely be interesting to be able to follow this.
I agree with your suggestions, sounds really interesting and I think it would be very beneficial for all of us.
when someone added a wrong translation and there are no other translations yet, then it makes more sense to correct the translation than to unlink the two sentences. the best solution would be to write a comment on the sentence of the contributor who made the wrong translation, but if both sentences are "4 days ago", you can't know who made the error...
Whichever sentence has a lower number came first.
so true. thank you, that was too easy for me ^^.
It's usually the obvious that eludes us. :P
sometimes it's just Nero.
Kinda makes sense ^^
Just a general info as some of them who read this thread may not know it: for sentences with "date unknown" the number says NOTHING about when they were added.
Well those sentences are mostly from the Tanaka Corpus but I have seen exceptions multiple times.
yeah, some of those exceptions are from me ;).
The sentences with "date unknown" are simply all the sentences which were already in a previous version from tatoeba that had no time stamps and no 'owners' of sentences.
