So, I thought you were commenting about having sentences on that list show in a random order.

It's not possible to set lists to display sentences in a random order at this time. That's why I suggested using the advanced search showing results in a random order.

You can get that list in random order using the following advanced search.

https://tatoeba.org/sentences/s...59&sort=random

list=169859
sort=random

At this time, my hope is to get audio on all sentences on List 907, which is still growing.

Here are some stats that I put together yesterday, before I imported about another 250 audio files today.

Click the links if you want to translate these.

◼ Sentences that I've added AUDIO to (both mine and other members') that have not yet been translated into any language.

◼ List 907, not yet with audio

155,426 / 867,078 (17.92%) on April 1, 2022 (About 82% complete)



I would also love to have a native Japanese-speaking member go through these and adopt the natural-sounding Japanese sentences.

Note that I personally don't record audio for items that should be recorded by a female voice, a young child's voice, two or more voices, or a non-American voice.

** Dashboard for Translating English Sentences with Audio

http://a4esl.org/temporary/tato...e/searches.php

We now have over 700,000 English sentences with audio files.


If you want to directly help my projects (http://bit.ly/tatoebaprojects), then ...

1. Translate some of these sentences into your own native language.

2. If your native language is English, then translate sentences owned by native speakers of another language into natural-sounding English.

You don't need to use it if you don't want to. I just thought that you might find it useful, and the list was already created.

The following link will give you a random selection of English sentences with translations into 9 or more languages that are not yet translated into Portuguese.

This is listed as "method 7" on the following page.

Note that List 7055 was last updated in February of 2020 with data I received from sharptoothed.

** Parts of Speech Tagged Sentences

Today I stumbled on a website that has tagged parts of speech for many sentences from the Tatoeba Corpus

http://study.aitech.ac.jp/wordhelp/

This is a set of pages that I created, so you can easily jump to some of these pages.

/// I grabbed all the English queries, and then counted them.
/// This list is sorted by the counts (column 1)

Here are the top 20 English queries.
Looking at this data, I sort of wonder how useful these counts are. Perhaps some kind of bot did these searches.

65468 AARAMBH
64324 AARDWOLF
62180 AARDWOLVES
57822 A BATTERY

Since these usernames are not in alphabetical order, I wonder if they are in the order of who has most moved your project forward this week, in another order, or just in a random order.

The average is 11 sentences per username.

Note that there is a GitHub issue related to this.

Happy birthday.

This example finds English sentences beginning with "Tom" and ending with "Mary".

** Something to Consider for 2022 **

10 English Words Per Day (with links to search the Tatoeba Corpus)

* https://bit.ly/tatoebadaily

The 10 words are roughly in the order of frequency of use, based on the NGSL, NAWL and TSL. I divided the words into 10 groups by level and included one word from each of those levels every day for 366 days.

Perhaps this is something you might want to try in order to focus on translating sentences with different vocabulary every day. Out of the 10 words each day, maybe you will find something interesting to you.

Like I said, I don't know if it would be possible or even advisable. However this database was created for a purpose, whether it's for students or researchers, or for some other purpose, or for all purposes.

A database could include a way to put alternative translations in an order of usefulness, naturalness or on how well they match the meaning of the sentences they are attached to, or in some other useful order.

This way the database could perhaps be more effectively utilized by those who want to use it.

I don't know if it would be possible or even advisable, but perhaps the Tatoeba Project needs some method to indicate which of multiple alternative translations would be best for language learners to focus on, or learn first.
