Language Pair Finder
Search for Pali and/or English phrases/segments. Add a block for each term: pick is translated to to find where the Pali and English go together, or is not translated to to find likely mistranslations (e.g. Sangha not shown as Community). Add more blocks and combine them with AND/OR.

Search Pali or the English. Each condition has its own options — match all word forms, exclude words, pick specific forms — and its own AND/OR choice for how it joins the condition above it.

Ask in English (AI)
Describe the search in plain English and the AI turns it into a read-only query. You review the query before it runs.
💡 Examples you can try
Raw SQL
For power users: the SELECT … FROM part is fixed so the result set keeps its shape — edit the WHERE clause (and below). It still passes through the read-only safety guard and the read-only connection.

One row per changed pair, with the Original English and the AI's Corrected English side by side (differences highlighted). Click Edit to change the corrected text, then Save or Undo. Tick Apply to include a row in the database update, and ↗ PaliVerse opens the passage on paliverse.org in a new tab.
yellow = searched terms · struck-through red = removed from the original · green = added in the correction.
Save Progress keeps your edited text and the Apply ticks in the app under a name, so you can leave and resume this batch later from “Saved progress” at the top.
Apply Changes to the Database
Apply selected corrections to the Database.
The rest of this app is strictly read-only. This section writes the rows you ticked as Apply in the table above, using the text as edited. Every update targets one segment by id and re-checks that the stored text still matches what you reviewed, so nothing can be silently overwritten. In the Staged and Production databases each segment is sent through the Segment API and recorded in Segment History.
