Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

Proverbs are structures that contain certain truths or evidence. They cover many aspects of human life and are often used in everyday life. The brevity of proverbs and the ease of use of their structure make it easier to memorize them. In different countries, proverbs often cover a similar topic, but are transmitted in different forms. In the course of the research, we created a site for the online translation of proverbs. In the course of this study, we grouped proverbs according to their subject matter and semantic similarity. We have collected about a hundred proverbs and sayings. The site presents the equivalents of proverbs in the Kazakh and English languages of different levels. Any of these proverbs can be found on the specified site by searching both in English and in Kazakh. The site is intended for a wide range of readers. The site can be used by students of English and Kazakh languages, students of the faculties of translation, philology, psychology, folklore, history, literary studies, cultural studies, etc., as well as teachers, researchers and professional translators. In the future, the site's funds will be constantly replenished.
