Tatoeba day & stats

Yesterday was our first Tatoeba day, so today I'm publishing stats about what has been been achieved that day, as well as more general stats.

Stats by language

The chart below shows the number of sentences added on Nov 13th for each language.

The gold medal goes to Arabic! Silver goes to Esperanto and bronze goes to German :)

1. Arabic (573)

3. German (247)
4. Egyptian Arabic (230)
5. Spanish (207)

Sadly, the record set on August 18th of 3465 sentences added was not broken. We only made it to 2899. It's still not bad though, since it's the 2nd most important day, in terms of sentences added (and by "sentences added" I mean "new sentences + translations").

We were missing a few of our devoted members that day, so I guess it's normal. Let's hope more people will be available for the next Tatoeba day :)

Stats by users

The chart below shows the number of sentences added (in green) and the number of sentences modified (in yellow) on Nov 13th, for the top 20 users. You'll excuse my laziness but I only used the number of sentences added for the rank.

Saeb wins the day, by far, with 802 sentences added! Congrats :D Second place goes to nickyeow, and third place goes to Eldad.

At any rate, everyone deserves a big thank you for their contributions! THANK YOU :)

Language ranks

Tatoeba day is a good occasion to see how each language have progressed. You can see how each language with more than 1000 sentences was positioned one month ago, in this previous post. Let's how it is now...

Top 5

The top 5 hasn't changed.

1. English - 158,000+. It looks like English has been growing a little bit.
2. Japanese - 153,000+. Japanese is standing still. You can tell we don't have a very strong Japanese community.
3. French - 53,000+. French seems keeps moving at a steady pace.
4. Esperanto - 47,000+. Esperanto is catching up with French quickly...
5. German - 32,000+. German is progressing better than French, but still not quite as well as Esperanto.

Other languages with 10,000+ sentences

• Polish - 20,000+
• Spanish - almost 19,000. Spanish gained one rank! :D
• Russian - almost 18,000
• Chinese Mandarin - almost 15,000
• Ukrainian - 14,000+

Other languages with 1,000+ sentences

• Italian - 8,500+
• Arabic - 6,500+. Great boost for Arabic!
• Dutch - almost 6,500
• Portuguese - 6,000+
• Hebrew - 4,500+. Great boost for Hebrew as well!
• Icelandic - 4,000+
• Hindi - almost 3,500
• Hungarian - 3,000+. Hungarian joined the 1,000+ sentences club! Very good progress.
• Turkish - 2,500+
• Shanghainese - 2,500+
• Uyghur - almost 2,500

Other numbers

• 55,735 sentences added in October.
• About 25,000 sentences added since the beginning of November.
• We've reached 600,000 sentences in total today!
• But there are probably thousands of duplicates, so it's not really 600,000 yet...
• We will soon have 76 languages. 5 are waiting to be added: Galician, Irish, Interlingua, Lojban, Toki Pona. Note that the last 3 languages are constructed languages.

Next Tatoeba day

A potential date for the Tatoeba day would be December 11th. Although it could be December 18th as well. We'll see what suits best for everyone.

The main objective of the first Tatoeba day was to break the record of the highest number of sentences added in one day. We didn't break it, but it's okay because we still had fun :D

The main objective will be different for the second Tatoeba day. We haven't decided what it will be yet, but I think it would be nice to emphasize on adoption next time. Because unfortunately I didn't really have time to look at adoptions for this first Tatoeba day :(

Anyway, we'll keep you informed. Thanks again for everyone who participated and who came to our IRC channel :)
