Ideas

TODO: Copy-paste whatever can be reused from last year's project ideas page.

Re-design the the layout of the website, so it also works well on mobile devices.

Description

Convert the existing site to a pre-existing, tested framework such as Bootstrap or something similar, so that the website works well on many devices. The idea would be to use something that has been tested already, so you do not waste time creating new things that need to be tested, and re-tested. Using a well-known framework, would also allow easier updating in the future as that framework is improved.

Deliverables

We would want all the files in the "app" folder (see https://github.com/Tatoeba/tatoeba2) converted so that the framework would work.

Prerequisite knowledge

CakePHP, Bootstrap (or whatever is chosen)

Improvements in the Search Function to Allow Members to Find Sentences They Want to Translate

Description

Make it possible to generate these kinds of pages.

  • Get all sentences in a given language by a given user that have not been translated into a given language. For example: Show me all English sentences by user "CK" not yet translated into Japanese.

  • Same as above, but limited to sentences with audio. For example: Show me all English sentences by "CK" with audio that have not been translated into Japanese.

  • Get all sentences by native speakers of a given language not yet translated into a given language. For example: Show me all Finnish sentences by native speakers not translated into Hungarian.

  • Get all sentences in a given language with a certain tag not translated into a given language. For example: Show me all Georgian sentences with the tag "restaurant" not translated into Armenian.

  • Same as above, but limited to sentences by native speakers not translated into a given language. For example: Show me all Korean sentences by native speakers with the tag "weather" not translated into Japanese.

  • Get all sentences in a given language under a certain length not yet translated into a given language. For example: Show me all Japanese sentences fewer than 50 characters in length not translated into French.

    • Same as above, but limited to native speaker sentences.
    • Same as above, but limited to sentences by a given user.

  • Get all sentences by native speakers of a given language that match a given search keyword that have not been translated into a given language. For example: Show all English sentences with the word "mountain" not translated into Japanese.

    • Same as above, but limited to native speaker sentences.
    • Same as above, but limited to sentences by a given user.

Deliverables

Wish list

Description

Wish list allows users to add words and expressions to a list and other users can fulfill the wishes by adding sentences with these words and expressions.
