About

This site is an internal dashboard for the owner and the bots that localize his sites. It tracks idiomatic and hard-to-translate phrases from those sites, plus a literary reading pass kept as seeds.

The dashboard shows totals, coverage by language, entries missing a language tag or a rendering, and the UTC date of the last build. The phrase table is static and sorted by key. Each key opens a phrase page with the renderings and the notes.

Sources

• phrasebank/phrases.yaml holds lines from Krazy To-Go Box, Causative Cooking, and The Pile.
• phrasebank/gutenberg-seeds.yaml holds literary lines from a Project Gutenberg reading pass. Provenance on each entry names the work and the edition numbers.

A literary source line is the quotation from that edition. Japanese and French lines stored as candidates are original wording in this catalog. The historical English translations named beside the Gutenberg numbers are not the text on the page.

Gutenberg quotations are stored with lang: de, so the German line renders with the other languages. A language listed with no text is shown as “not yet recorded.” A source left as a bare string, with no language code, is quoted with the language left undetermined. The generator does not guess a code.

Quotations stay under the terms of the Gutenberg edition cited on the entry.

Japanese renderings are chosen with reference to the Electronic Dictionary Research and Development Group’s dictionaries: WWWJDIC and the JMdict files behind it, along with KANJIDIC. The Group releases those files under Creative Commons Attribution–ShareAlike 4.0. This site does not ship those files, does not reproduce their entries, and does not claim copyright over them. Attribute the Group, and keep ShareAlike, if you redistribute EDRDG data. See also docs/OPEN-DICTIONARIES.md.

Map of Untranslatability

Phrasebank records a rendering that can be used. The Map of Untranslatability records where a clean equivalent fails. How the two sit together is described in docs/PAIRING.md. A phrase page links across when a map entry lists that phrase’s id.
