Perhaps, one way to efficiently do this would be to have an icon next to the mail icon at the top of the page that links to "comments on my sentences," and then have a red number appear the same way it does for unread messages. There would need to be some way for members to click something on a comment saying they have seen the comment, I suppose.

I think the programmer(s) of that part of the website assumed that people would be making requests for exact matches of words and not variations of the words or other words in the same word families.. In other words, they likely thought that when someone requested "stair", they wanted a sentence example with the singular word "stair" rather than the plural "stairs." I don't think it's a bug. I think they planned it that way.

I took the numbers from these pages.
https://tatoeba.org/en/vocabula..._sentences/eng

That set of pages counts only exact matches.
This kind of search: =spot
Also, maybe orphan sentences are ignored.
I made the query the default "fuzzy" search and also included orphan sentences in the query.

This is the kind of thing that I thought might be useful.

http://tatoeba.ueuo.com/requested.html
Requested English Words - Sorted by NGSL & Frequency

I manually downloaded all the English word request pages, and harvested the data I needed to create this. If the data were easily accessible, similar lists could be created for other languages, too.

What I meant was the "requested vocabulary" list.
This: https://tatoeba.org/en/vocabula..._sentences/eng

It would also be nice if we could download these vocabulary requests.

At least for the English, there are so many very, very low frequency words on the list that it would be nice to be able to compare the list with a word frequency list, and focus on adding sentences that included the higher-frequency requested words that more people would find useful.

I've included links for those interested in browsing and adopting sentences in their own native languages.

[EDIT 2021-05-25] I apologize for posting this information. I didn't think it would start an argument. It was just a by-product of gathering the data for http://bit.ly/nativespeakers . I thought some members would find this interesting and perhaps encourage some to look at sentences and adopt them.

Sorry.

I've updated my page of links to include these links and also removed the clickable link to lingocracy.com that AlanF_US reported as being offline.

This isn't the solution you want, but this is something you could do in the meantime.

Focus on translating sentences owned by one native Turkish speaker at a time.

You can find the native speakers listed here.

Just skip any contributor of sentences that you do not want to translate.
Look for the "tur not yet in spa" links.
