Tatoeba update (November 29th, 2014)

Maintenance

Tatoeba will be under maintenance for approximately at least 3 hours.
Scheduled time: 04:00 to 07:00 11:00 UTC.

As mentioned in the previous blog post, we need to shut down Tatoeba for a few hours in order to do some changes in the database. These changes are needed for us to run later on the sentences deduplication script.

While Tatoeba is down, if you feel like translating, we always need people to help us translate the website interface.

Edit: The maintenance is over now. It took more time than planned due to MySQL logs still being activated during the changes, but everything went okay.

More frequent indexation

We do not have a lot of new things for this update, but there is nonetheless one piece of good news. Thanks to some optimization that gillux did a couple of weeks ago, we can afford to index new sentences more often. The interval was previously set to 1 hour, and we reduced it to 15 minutes. In other words, you will never have to wait more than 15 minutes to be able to find your sentences via the search function.

Donations and thanks

We recently received a small donation from Stanislav. So thank you, Stanislav! And thanks again to everyone before him who donated to make sure that Tatoeba will be hosted on a stable and fast server for the next few years :)
