How to Choose Which Translations Are Displayed

Why?

  • Some members prefer to only see selected languages in the translations rather than all the translations.
  • Sometimes this is useful when you want to quickly do a lot of linking.

How

  • Go to your profile;
  • In the Settings area, click on Edit;
  • In Options, you'll see a field called "Languages". Just follow the instructions under that field.
  • Click on Save.

The complete list of ISO codes can be accessed on this page: tatoeba.org/stats/sentences_by_language

Behavior

If you do not have any languages in the "Languages" list in your setting, then:

  • if you set the "To" language to a specific language, you will see results in that language
  • if you set the "To" language to "Any language", you will see all results

If you do have languages in the "Languages" list in your setting, then:

  • if you set the "To" language to a specific language, you will see results in that language plus the languages in your list
  • if you set the "To" language to "Any language", you will only see results in the languages in your list

If you want to keep your "Languages" non-empty and want to do a search that only finds results in a target language, perform an advanced search and specify that language under "Show translations in:"

Warning

  • Some members who use this setting forget they have have limited what is displayed and sometimes can't figure out why sentences seem to be missing.
