Summary of what you can do...

• Browse sentences
• This displays a sentence and its translations.
• You can browse by id from the "Browse" section.
• Or browse randomly from the homepage and the "Browse" section.
• Search sentences
• You can search sentences from the search bar, which is always visible.
• You can use quotes and write logic expressions in the search query.
• Add sentences
• You can add your own sentences from the "Contribution" section.
• Delete sentences
• Only the admin can delete sentences. If you'd like to delete a sentence, you can only contact the admin.
• Translate sentences
• Sentences can be translated from any "sentences box", by clicking on the "Translate" link.
• Translation is handled with AJAX.
• Modify sentences
• Only the owner and the admin can modify the sentences.
• Modification is handled with AJAX (edit in place).
• Edit in place generally does not work with translations, only with the main sentences.
• However, it is possible to edit a translation that you have just added (useful if you've noticed a mistake right after saving your translation).
• Adopt sentences
• There are many sentences in Tatoeba that do not have an owner. These sentencse can be adopted.
• If you notice a mistake in a sentence that is not owned by anyone, you can adopt the sentence, and afterwards modify it.
• You can also adopt sentences that are correct. Adopting is also a way to mark a sentence as correct.
• Post comments
• You can post comments about a specific sentence. This is useful when for instance you don't understand it and would like more explanations. But of course you can always add explanations for sentences that you understand, in order to help people who learn the language. You can also post a comment if you saw a mistake but are not the owner of the sentence, or if you are not sure about how to correct it.
• The owner of the sentence will receive a notification by email every time someone posts a comment.
• All the people who have participated to the thread will also receive a notification.
• View logs & statistics
• Everytime a sentence is added, modified, or deleted, the action is logged.
• The 10 last logs entries can be seen on the homepage. The 200 last logs entries can be seen after clicking on "Show more...".
• Based on these logs, we're showing the activity in Tatoeba in the "activity timeline" : it indicates for each day the sum of number of sentences added and the number of modificaitons.
