What's a language dictionary? You can have an English language dictionary or a multi-language dictionary, but a language dictionary is just a dictionary. This could be replaced by "Tatoeba is a multi-language dictionary".

And Tatoeba isn't really a dictionary...

"1.
a book containing a selection of the words of a language, usually arranged alphabetically, giving information about their meanings, pronunciations, etymologies, inflected forms, etc., expressed in either the same or another language; lexicon; glossary: a dictionary of English; a Japanese-English dictionary.
2.
a book giving information on particular subjects or on a particular class of words, names, or facts, usually arranged alphabetically: a biographical dictionary; a dictionary of mathematics. " (Random House dictionary)

@Scott: I agree but it's from the intro video. The idea is to translate these sentences into as many languages as possible to add subtitles to the video.

See http://tatoeba.org/spa/sentences_lists/show/329 for the sentences and http://tatoeba.org/spa/wall/sho...7#message_4687 for an explanation.

So it can't really be changed, unless someone changes the video.

Yes, this is the first entry of the list http://tatoeba.org/spa/sentences_lists/show/329
that aims at translating the subtitles (and audio? and grafic text?) of the Tatoeba introduction video
It's mostly in sequential order, except for the "That's awesome right?" (http://tatoeba.org/spa/sentences/show/704173 )

@Scott: I've added your suggestion as an alternative "translation". Maybe we should really change this also in the video.
