boracasli is convinced machine translation works...We tried several times to explain to him that it is not the case, but the new generation of web users believe in Google as it was God Almighty...There's nothing you can do about it, I think...

further todo:

* repair the parsing on the home screen
* enable parsing of profiles
* automatically add a zero width space to markedit generated posts to opt on only parsing when intended

I've fixed some stuff:

* homescreen comments now display correctly
* profiles are parsed too, also there is a editor for your profile
* added a toggle symbol next to your username, which says `#md` (short for [markdown]): It **both** toggles the parsing and hides the live preview. When toggled, non-parsed raw text displays as monospaced font.

I've added some _examples_ at [one of my sentences]

[one of my sentences]: http://tatoeba.org/deu/sentences/show/544586
[markdown]: http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/

Plus we could start writing about tags in hashtag-manner like this:
#sports
or like this
#[by Isaac Asimov]
if there are any non-word characters or blanks in them.

If we talk about an @-tag, we just use #@change or #[@change tag]. What do you think?

*PLUS*, I would propose that we use [markdown] in our comments. I will try if I can put [showdown] (a javascript markdown implementation) into my userscript. Of course we would then have to make our @mention and #hashtag system compatible.

[markdown]: http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/
[showdown]: https://github.com/coreyti/showdown

But the @ is widely used on the web (twitter, youtube, diaspora, ...). And there's probanly not going to be a user named "change" or similar. Also it is like adressing all users who can contribute to a certain problem and therefore go through the specific @-tag.

The original explanation was: it's because this will allow to use PM to send spam.

Comments are emailed, but everyone sees comments, so admin(s) would be able to quickly block the spammer. But if someone sends spam through private messages, it can come unnoticed.

That's a great idea! I would instantly start writing if i wouldnt have to learn an awsome lot for my examn. However, if you or anyone else has a little javascript knowledge, don't hesitate to copy from my other userscripts, which you can find at http://userscripts.org/users/61020 (They're all CC-BY, so mentioning me is enough)

Here we go! That's just for the start. It should link mentioned users on the wall (so the previous posts can already be tested):

// ==UserScript==
// @name Tatoeba @Mentions
// @namespace Jakob V. <jakov@gmx.at>
// @description [work in progress] Links @username to the respective profile and sends a PM to the mentioned user if he wouldn't automatically get one
// @include http://tatoeba.org/*
// @require http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.5.js
// ==/UserScript==
$(document).ready(function () {
GM_log('ready');
$('.message .body:contains("@")').each(function () {
$(this).html($(this).html().replace(/(\W)\@([A-Za-z0-9_]*)/ig, '$1<a href="/user/profile/$2">@$2</a>'));
//(<a href="http://tatoeba.org/deu/private_...inhalt">inform via PM</a>)
});
});

Merci, sysko !

Bienvenue !

Hey, thanks!

I wasn't really planning on adding any conlangs, but I speak Japanese and figured I'd contribute where I can. That said, I find this site is *just* the thing to help me develop my conlang.

That said, it'd be interesting to see conlangs on here.

how long will the cache be updated ? will it be cleared to have a new one automatically ?

I agree, but the disadvantage would only be that if such a tag would be purged (removed from all sentences after improvement) the first user to add it again to a sentence wouldnt have te auto-complete function. I think if we write down which tag has which puropse then its not a big thing.

I just wrote "http://example.com/thats_the_url" and seperated the ":" so it didnt destroy the link, but it's not part of the link. So there's nothing special about "by Isaac Asimov", at least no special character.
