Thanks you very much for the reply, TRANG.

I really appreciate your attitude.

I'd like to elaborate on TRANG's words:

> It is not against Tatoeba's rule to translate from your native language into English. It is only a recommendation (especially for newer contributors) to avoid an overflow of possibly bad sentences

with some concrete suggestions as to how non-native speakers can avoid creating bad sentences.

(1) Use a standard dialect of the language. Sentences in nonstandard dialects are much harder to get right.
(2) Don't try to push the boundaries of the language. If you discover that 80% of native speakers contain a particular usage an error, even if you find a blog post somewhere that claims that it shouldn't be considered one, be conservative and don't use it.
(3) If you're an advanced contributor, use the tag "@needs native check", especially when you're unsure whether the sentence is correct. (Note: do not use "@NNC" or "NNC" or any other variants. Sentences with "@needs native check" and "@check" are special because they are listed on a particular page that corpus maintainers check frequently.)
(4) If you're not an advanced contributor, consider finding a native speaker to review your sentences, particularly the ones you're not sure about.
(5) Avoid writing lots of similar sentences. Not only does it undermine diversity, and make the site more boring, but if you're a non-native speaker, there is a chance that you're repeating the same mistake in all of them, which makes them tedious to correct.
(6) Check your non-native sentences regularly to see whether anyone has written comments on them, and respond accordingly.

Thanks.

Thanks for your contribution.

I also prefer and predominantly translate into my native language. But...

The thing is that sometimes, I get a bit bored with that one-sided way of translanting, it especially pertains to sentences of the same pattern.

Moreover, the possibility of translating my sentences into English makes my work here more enjoyable, it isn't so monotonous. It is also a good way of practising and reinforcing my English knowledge.

Another reason why I translate into English is that I want my sentences to be available for others as well. Some of my sentences also convey a message or reflect my personality, opinions and experiences.

Why should I wait for someone eligible enough to translate them someday, in a week, month, year, or maybe never, when I can do it myself?

I wouldn't dare to translate into English if my English wasn't advanced, which I am afraid that isn't always the case here. It is, however, up to Admins and Corpus maintainers to decide how to deal with those bad sentences and their creators.

For me, it is always important that my sentences make sense and are grammatically correct, even though they may not sound natural every time.

Czech is difficult language and sometimes it is really hard to translate/ transfer an idea into English precisely.

So, Instead of expressing wishes that I would stop translating into English, I appreciate every comment on my sentences from a native speaker, if something is wrong.
