Introduction

Tatoeba.org has a great and free collaborative database of example sentences. Language learners can use it to study and learn words and expressions in context. Tatoeba.org is real thing here.

Tatoeba-karini is just an alternative way to access the Tatoeba.org's content from the command-line.

• local files based Tatoeba-karini uses the files provided by Tatoeba.org to perform local searches (without the need of internet connection):

  • find (all) sentences in specific language containing an specific term
  • translate sentences (like above, but after finding a sentence, it also looks for translations of the found sentence)
