Hello,
While contributing to wiktionary, I discovered Tatoeba, a website where you can find translated sentences, and share your knoledge with new translation.
The project database is free (CC-by if I well remember), and the team behind it seems very responsive: think that they made this post[1] just because I am incorrigible curious person.
Now as our moto is "the sum of all knowledge…" I was curious to know your opinion on integrating such a project within Wikimedia. As I already don't have time to make all the contributions that I would like to bring to the community, I won't be able to bring energy on such a project. So I just share the idea, "just in case", to my mind it's always better than drop it nowhere.
Kind regards, mathieu

I noticed that on Commons, there is a need for sentence fragments, such as "Portrait of a woman facing left at three-quarter length"
Though whole sentences is a major step towards machine translation, sentence fragments might be more practical for multi-lingual project endeavors such as Wikidata and Wiki Commons
