Suggestions to improve LT's user experience

The title says it all, so without any futher ado, here are my/the 3 suggestions:

1. A thanks button that doesn't interrupt the playback of the song (now if you click on the thanks button the page reloads -> you have to scroll down and hit play again).
(I have a feeling this might be hard...ish to implement, what with working around the reload thing...)

2. After deleting a draft (or multiple drafts), display the "Drafts" page instead of the front page.

3. Add "Favorites" to user dropdown menu. Because why not? It decreases the time it takes to reach
Favorites. "HyperAuth" (manage Google+ or FB login) is probably a less frequently accessed settings item,
so it's absence from the menu is more justified.

4. I know I forgot something...

I did not scroll around the forum to see if someone had posted a similar post, sorry.

Have a good one, people :)

Thanks for the feedback. I've encountered none of these issues before (I've neither thanked someone while playing the embedded video, nor have I deleted any of my drafts, nor do I use the favorites feature much at all).
But it is therefore especially helpful to see how other users experience the website. I suppose at least the 3. suggestion could easily be implemented.

I do use the drafts feature, I just never delete my drafts.

Good ideas! I'd also add an option for multilingual songs so that one could know what languages the songs were in.

We had this feature a while ago but it was discontinued due to technical problems.
I would assume that it already is on the list of features to be re-added one day.

I sent a message to LT team just yesterday. I wrote:

Hi, I want to suggest a new option for the site. It would be nice if (in
personal profile) the word "READS" was visible inside the entries
"TRANSLATIONS" and "SONGS".

For example:

https://lyricstranslate.com/it/translator-details/fratelli-ditaglia-tran...

In the "SONGS" entry, there are 4 lists:
Artist - Title - Type - Language

I'd love the lists to be 5:
Artist - Title - Type - Language - READS

This way, the user does not need to enter every single page
of the song to see how many people have displayed the text (or the
translation) that he added.

I'm waiting for an answer. Thank you

They answered me:

Dear Fratelli d'ItaGlia

Thank you for your suggestion, we'll consider it.

Regards,
LyricsTranslate.com Team

But the problem is that they always answer in this way.

What do you think about my suggestion?

Those could be great features! Which reminds me, I've noticed that a song's view-count can be seen only by the original poster. Why is that? I personally would like to see the numbers myself.

@Fratelli d'ItaGlia and @Imvisible:

It seems I'm not the only one noticing that there is plenty of room for improvement with the "Reads" feature.
You both have made some great suggestions which I definitely applaude but I find the lack of validity of this feature equally - if not more - important.
To be more specific I've noticed that:
1. The "Reads" number includes the readings made by the translator himself/ herself.
2. The "Reads" number includes the number of times the draft of a translation has been edited and saved before its publishing.

I have no idea whether these things can be fixed or not. I surely hope the admins will do something about it because it's a very helpful and motivational feature.

These are really good suggestions!

I have a suggestion too. When I start writing a translation and then click on the "in progress" button, the page reloads and I lose what I've typed. Is there any way to fix this?

I suggest to add a feature that enables us to add picture en the PMs Just like we do on Vibrr or messenger and I also hope the number of drafts be revealed on user's page

[quote=Pääsuke]There is already the "in progress feature" for following the progress of your drafts

Really how come? I checked the " In progress" and says no records

I've noticed that too. I've also seen a workaround for this on Blogger. You have the ability to disable page views made by yourself. Bare in mind that the settings (on Blogger) are stored in the cookie files, so each time you delete your cookies or private data (there are various reasons why you'd need to/ wish to do that), you'd have to re-enable the "do not count my page views" feature.

I don't know if it can be implemented on LT.

Ι don't know either but you make it seem doable. :)

With all due respect, I hope such features will never be implemented on LT.

I'm glad you've mentioned that.
I've been there before and it's so frustrating!

Also I would like to suggest a feature which will allow us to receive notifications about
new songs added under our favourite music genres or artists. Ok, I know I'm asking too much... :D

It would be nice if we could create more than just one original name per artist. There are artists who produce music under several names, and some names can be transliterated in more ways. It would be practical if we could add aliases, and would probably make it easier to find the artists. What do you think?

If any admins are reading this: we don't mean to pressure you :D Also I just noticed that "Favorites" has magically appeared in the user dropdown menu. Thanks! :)

Thanks for all the suggestions!

Another trick implemented - "Thanks" button that doesn't interrupt the playback of the song anymore :)

How should we handle it when someone requests a translation of a song that's in more than one language? This is not the first time I've translated a song that's mostly in English but with a few words or phrases from another language that I don't know. I feel like I would like to make another translation request so someone who knows that other language can improve the translation. I thought about posting a the song as a new song under the artist's name, just changing the language to the other language, and making a second translation request that way, but I didn't do it because I thought that would be too weird. What do people think?

I think there should be an "additional language input field"... It has happened to me before.... a lot of times.

I think, all we need is "a.k.a." field.

As well as:

- a "Related Bands/Artists" field
- a "Specific Music Genre" field
- a "Similar Artists" field
- an "Artist's Bio" field
etc etc etc
:D

It's been suggested before (with a 'Also spelled as' additional field being suggested as well - that way people could add artist names in Cyrillic/Kanji/Devanagari/etc all in a same page), but I don't know if its top priority.

:D

Same - been suggested, don't know if it's on the priority list. The 1st entry you suggested was considered because several band members have solo careers and it could be good to link the pages.

I wrote to LT team:
Hello. Every time I go in the profile of a song that I added, or every time I
edit a text ot translation added by me, the view counter counts an extra
display, distorting the number of them. Is it possible to solve this?
I waiting for an answer, thanks

Dear Fratelli d'ItaGlia,
We're already working on it, so this issue should be resolved soon. Thanks for the reminder!

We have a true "Reads" warrior here!
With all due respect, don't you think that this was unnecessary in some respects?
I'm sure the Admins have been informed about our suggestions or have read this topic themselves.
The fact that some of our suggestions have already been implemented or put under consideration is the proof.
Besides, I'm sure there are many good ideas which are simply not possible.
Try to remember that progress always takes time, thought and effort.
Αnd I don't know about you but I can definitely say there is some progress made lately. :)
