Add an option to show only directly-linked sentences in search results.

  • It would be useful to get a more "clutter-free" output when searching.
  • When showing the website to others, if would be good to not have to explain why the "gray" indirect translations don't match.

Here is an example search: Random Japanese sentences by native speakers

https://tatoeba.org/en/sentences/search?from=jpn&native=yes&sort=random&rand_seed=wFbq&orphans=no&unapproved=no&word_count_min=1&trans_filter=limit

Note that it is possible to limit output to only English, limited to sentences that have English translations like the following search. This gives a more clutter-free look, but only shows English, and still shows indirect translations

https://tatoeba.org/en/sentences/search?from=jpn&native=yes&sort=random&rand_seed=wFbq&orphans=no&unapproved=no&word_count_min=1&trans_filter=limit

Note

While searches showing indirect links may be useful as a default for our members who add translations and have linking rights, for the casual user of our site, or for first-time visitors, perhaps having "show indirect translations" as an opt-in option, rather than the default might be better.
