Thanks so much-I have been looking all over for that.

And yes, I will share the deck.

What is a pop up dictionary?

I use www.google.com/translate and that works fine for me.

Now that is a dictionary I would never trust. It's extremely good at translating texts, making them easily understood, but it's far from perfect and will make really odd translations from time to time.

A pop up dictionary is something like Dictionary on OS X, it let's you look stuff up in programs like Rikaichan, giving you a tooltip with information when you select a word and press a combination of keys.

The best german-English pop-up dictionary (with example sentences) is: Langenscheidt Handwörterbuch (German-English-German)

This is the complete trancscript of Pimsleur German Unit 1 (30 lessons):

and this is the complete transcript of Pimsleur German Unit 2 (except the last 6 lessons):

http://www.fileflyer.com/view/3PI2gAr

(you cannot find these transcripts elsewhere on the internet and the links are temporary, so download them as soon as possible.)

You will not need the transcript of Unit 3, because when you reach this level, you will have good command in German and you will be familiarized with its sounds.

BTW, if you subscribe to comprehencia.com, please share the 1200 example sentences in German (and the other languages, since the 9 euro subscription is for all of them.)

Also please share any Anki deck you make, and don't be.....

Damn-I grabbed thoses transcripts when you first put them up but accidently delted them now and seems the link is invalid.

Sorry, but wonder if I could get them again? If its too much trouble I'll live without....

then the native should learn some German: http://tatoeba.fr/eng/sentences/show/1666

I don't see any mistake in this sentence and I am a native speaker. Or do you mean "Portmonee" should be "Portemonnaie"? Both are correct as "Portmonee" was added in the new spelling reform.

Sysko, do you work at Tatoeba.fr? Because I just went in and translated a sentence only to find that Swedish isn't available as a language.

Therefore the correct sentence should be "Ich habe mein (NOT meine) Portemonnaie verloren."

Eh, right. Somehow I didn't see that... But, you know, nobody's perfect.

EDIT:
So this sentence doesn't belong to anyone? How was it translated?

@Proxx Thanks for the bug report, we will try to fix ASAP
   yep people are more and more active, which make us more confident and hard-working to implement new features

@Tobberoth, swedish will be adding very soon, in fact we only add detection for a language if someone begin to contribute in it, in order to avoid misdectection due to a too huge number of languages
and in fact i only develop/contribute for tatoeba.org, as it's a free project I only do it on my spare time ;-) (so as the other developpers) so we don't , and don't want to make money which this project

@lilygilder : yep the sentence belong to noone because this sentence was added a long long long time ago, I've edited it (by adopting it) and then release it, that way everyone can edit it

@ahibba : yep we've a native german who has begun to find translating sentences funny
anyway these days the average of newly  added /translated sentences  is around 30~100 / a day


EDIT : swedish available

Thank you Sysko for the clarification.

But when did you add the other languages? last time i checked the website I didn't notice them.

the other language where added one by one , each time a user requested it ;-)

EDIT : you can now search all languages except swedish and shanghainese as the search engine doesn't refresh its index on real time ( for perfomance reason, but feel free to offer us an IBM server as a christmas present :p )



In fact for the moment there's no direct way to say "I want to translate sentences five by five"  but you can have something similar by searching a word, all the sentence result are translatable
anyway as you can see were still lacking some features, but its not because we don't want but because we're on the way and as Tatoeba is intended to be use by language addicts for language addicts, we begin to make it public in order to implement the feature the way it suits you

thanks all for your usefull reports and contributions

because we plan to add a specific page for advance search options ( such as "searching all XXX sentences not translating in YYYY) 
but I wil try tomorow or the day after to add a little option somewhere  before but i don't promise it will be perfect  , for something more suitable you will need to wait the all in one advance search ;-)

by the way, twitter of the project ,for those who want to keep up to date for new languages / new major features
