Show HN: 1,400 Yiddish quotes with translations and transliterations
Hi everyone,

I helped my dad publish his yiddish quote book.

He was writing and collecting yiddish quotes in a private whatsapp group for 6 years.

I helped him by exporting his chat logs, and GPT APIs to translate and transliterate his quotes.

The quotes are ordered semantically as scored by https://huggingface.co/sentence-transformers/all-MiniLM-L6-v...

Originally, we wanted the quotes to be in categories & chapters, but so many of them transcend categories.

The semantic ordering is strange, but the flow felt right, which was neat.
