Merci, c'est corrigé.
There are a number of sentences where some words are tagged with weird bracket syntax, like this one;
"There are days where I feel like my {brain}{1} wants to abandon me."
Do these have any meaning to the system, and should they be preserved when adding new translations?
No, you don't have to preserve them when adding new translations. They used to be used, and they may be used again someday, but right now they don't mean anything anymore to the system.
You can find a short explaination at the very bottom of this page:
http://tatoeba.org/eng/pages/do...mple-sentences
Then should they be removed?
They should, but not by you. I mean, someday I'll just run a script that will do the work, so don't worry about it :)
I'll also have to backup these sentences somewhere before removing the brackets, because they're still providing information that can be useful someday.
I see. It'd be so much simpler to run a script than to remove them one by one :)
Looks like there’s something wrong with the Chinese pinyin transliteration... the pinyin of some traditional Chinese characters are not properly displayed :S
True. We installed our own pinyin converter and started using it recently, but perhaps the data we used is not complete...
Anyway we switched to the old way so it is now working again for the traditional Chinese characters.
Hi, how about adding Latin as a separate language? It appears to be a core language for almost all of Europe's languages (from a cultural point of view, of course, not the linguistic one). Latin proverbs and sayings are actually original versions of correspondent idioms in many languages.
As for all other language, we're opened, we just need people adding some sample sentences in this language, as soon as you can provide us around 5 sentences, we can consider adding it.
Great, how about:

As for flag, consider 'SPQR' symbol :)
How about this:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Spqrstone.jpg
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spqr
Yes, that's exactly what I was thinking about! Now an icon of 20x30 pix :)
language added, the SPQR file human600 give dit not properly render on 20*30, so we've choosen something else, but if you have something better to propose us, tell us :)
Looks great! Thanks!
Why are the flags made lighter than they are in reality? The Dutch flag now looks exactly like the Luxembourg flag.
That's because back at the time when I introduced the flags as the indicator of the language of a sentence, I felt that the real colors were too strong and needed to be lightened a little bit to fit more to the overall colors of the site.
But you're right, it leads to issues such as having a flag of a country looking like the one of another country.
But anyway if someday luxembourg language is added, its flag too, and it will look lighter than dutch flag :) (and the contrast between red and blue is kept as the red is also lighter)
The readings for <arabic numeral>日 are incorrect, but <kanji numeral>日 are correct. Figured I'd leave a note here rather on some particular entry as it applies to many.
Thanks for the note. I've corrected them.
Great! Furthermore, <numeral>日間 should also have the same reading as <numeral>日+かん. When there is no numeral, it is read ひあい.
Further <numeral>日 exceptions:
*一日の長(いちにちのちょう)
*一日一日(いちにちいちにち)
*一日一夜(いちにちいちや)
*一日増しに(いちにちましに)
*一日置き(いちにちおき)
*一日片時(いちにちへんじ)
*一日路(いちにちじ)
*一日千秋(いちじつせんしゅう/いちにちせんしゅう)
*一日を過ごす(いちにちをすごす)
*一日三秋(いちじつさんしゅう/いちにちさんしゅう)- anthy only gives the kanji when inputting the former reading.
*一日一善(いちにちいちぜん)
*一日二日(いちにちふつか)
*三日月(みかづき)
*七日鮫(なのかざめ)- anthy cannot produce this.
I didn't dig any deeper into this, but I imagine there are loads of special cases to be found.
And I remembered I didn't reply to you about this.
If you have been reading some of the latest messages you might have guessed that we're in the process of switching to another software for romanization, which will hopefully be more of a long term solution.
With the current one (KAKASI), I've reached the point where adding new rules to get correct romanization was too much of a hassle...
Yes, I'd noticed. Hope the new software proves better. I also noticed that the next release might have kana in addition to romaji which would be a welcome feature.
In fact the release will maybe replace romaji by kana, in a first time, and if people prefer to have both, the we will work to have both
Did a CSV file download, could not find any Estonian sentences there?
in fact as written in the download section, the last csv was generated a month ago, when estonian was not present in tatoeba, so at the next generation, estonian will be in it (in the same time we will review the way we generate csv to make it more "automatic" )
In case you are interested, I have updated the files. You should find Estonian now.
Is there a way to delete a sentence? And a comment?
There also seems to be sync issue as submitted changes are not there. I think I have entered 2 sentences, but stat shows 5... A have corrected sent several times, but the old version is still there... And each edit seems to add a new sentence not to modify the existing one. Well I guess don't follow the UI logics...
Hi,
There is currently no way for users to delete a sentence, nor a comment. Of course someday it will be possible, but we don't have much time for now and it is not a "vital" feature.
Instead of deleting a sentence, you can always replace it by another one.
As for deleting comments, well it doesn't really hurt anyone if you have posted a comment unintentionally :)
Now regarding your sync issue... I'm not sure to understand how you proceeded. But you can try to read the help and see if it helps: http://tatoeba.org/eng/pages/help
There is one thing that is not mentioned though: if you want to modify a sentence, you have to click on it. Then a form will appear and you will be able to edit it.
For instance here, this is one of your sentence: http://tatoeba.org/eng/sentences/show/344674
Try clicking on it, then change the text, then press OK.
Generally speaking, we are aware that the UI is not intuitive for everyone. We're trying our best but keep in mind that this is a project we're working on in our free time, so sometimes you have to bear with us.
Anyway you can always help out by telling us what we should display and how we should things so that you would understand how it works :)
Oh by the way, you have to be careful while replying to messages on the Wall. You had replied by mistake to Swift's message (http://tatoeba.org/eng/wall/index#message_88). But I moved your message to the top.
It's also better to post a new message (instead of replying) if you are talking about another topic. We check the Wall everyday so you don't have to worry about your message going unnoticed.
Hi,
Could not find Estonian in the language list, please add, if possible.
No problem, but could you please first add a few sentences/ translation, even if not detected by the system, that way it will give us some sample to test the detection for Estonian and integrate it well :)
I've just seen you have added yesterday five sentences in Estonian :)
if you know how to say them in english you can translate them as other people are more likely to know how to translate from english, and it will be far more usefull for people who wants to know sentences in Estionian.
anyway thanks to make Tatoeba more complete :D
Estonian has been added :) Enjoy.
The search results currently have a line with a couple of icons, one with a link to the item and the other to the comments.
The second line is the sentence itself, and the following lines have translations of it. The translations are links to those items, but the sentence is not a link.
It seems that things could be simplified and made a bit more intuitive if those icons were dropped and the search result sentence made into a link to that item. We'd lose the comments link, but it points to the same page anyway.
You're right. I redesigned a little bit the sentences blocks following your suggestions.
We'll see if it bothers anyone...
I for one think it looks better now.
Cheers.
