# Language levels in profile
We have an important new feature: you can now indicate in your profile the languages that you speak, learn or are interested in! We highly encourage everyone to list their languages in their profile with this new feature.
Many contributors have already indicated their languages in their profile description, but the information can now be stored in a more structured way, which will be useful to build other features around it:
* We can customize the languages displayed in the dropdown lists, and only display the languages that you have added in your profile.
* We can sort the translations to display in priority sentences in the languages that you know.
* We can sort the search results to give more priority to sentences added by native speakers.
* We can display the main language(s) of each contributor in the members list, or in the comments header, or in the sentences header.
* And so on...
# HTTPS
Tatoeba now supports HTTPS: https://tatoeba.org.
# Website interface
The website interface is now available in Lojban.
C'est super ! Félicitations, Trang !
Please add the option to hide the language level list in one's own profile so we/I don't have to see it and get distracted every time.
Is it possible to masspost an e-mail to all the Tatoeba users and advice them to go and add their language levels in their profiles? I think it would be good to have the language level information from as many users as possible, also from the ones that are no longer visiting Tatoeba actively, but have possible added quite a few sentences.
Is it possible for the corpus maintainers to edit user's language levels? I'm thinking about situation where an inactive user has indicated their language abilities in their description, but hasn't added the language levels and is seemingly not going to do so. Then the maintainers could add the language levels when they come by with this kind of user's profile.
We currently don't have a way to mass send emails but I don't think it's really necessary to email everyone about it. Users will fill the information as we implement more features. For instance at some point we will restrict the languages in which you can contribute based on the languages that you have added in your profile.
I don't intend to allow anyone to edit someone else's language level, but instead to implement a system where each contributor can add evaluations of other contributors language level.
I'm very glad this feature has been added.
