adopt means this sentence now belong to you, and you will be the only one allowed to make change on it, and you will receive email notification ( if set in your profile )if someone comments on it

that way we're sure that they will be no "war of edit" or people editing too much sentences

for favorite, you will soon seen them :)

have you checked http://tatoeba.fr/eng/pages/help ? ( in bottom right) ? (maybe not so much visible)

done , now you can access to "unknow language sentences" from your profile :)

the content will now be licenced under CC-BY 2.0 FR, which is for the moment, the less restrictive we can do according to european law

anyway you're not the first and you're not the last :P
it's true that is not something which directly come to mind, the difference between direct and undirect translation

yep, wow 300+ sentences added today, congratulations to our hardcores translators in french / chinese and spanish,

unfortunately as explain in my last message, due to european/french author right, attribution is mandatory and CC0 is still not clear whether it works in france or not, so we prefer to be safe, regardin that make law pursuit for copyright violiation is "fashion" in france ...

so the most "free" we can do is "CC-BY" ( for the moment my research hasn't show anything against it, but I prefer to check juridiction of main countries), when CC0 will be clearer regarding countries which has the notion of moral right (basically all european countries) , for further information, you can read the CC discussions pages, there, you can find more precise technical explanation :)

*his moral right
that means globally that we must attribute works of contributors, as we're based in europe and a major part of contributions (except takana corpus original sentences) after some internal discussion we've realized that maybe CC-BY can be used, as Tatoeba MUST attribute works, after if people want to reuse the contributions without attributing it to original contributors, that will be their problem (in fact no problem as long as they don't reuse without attributing sentences or corrections from european contributors or other countries where public domain is different from US definition)
so the licence is only to make things clear

by the way, we wouldn't have take a long time to choose a licence or so if there were no threats nor possible juridical problem, I far prefer coding than looking into law books

in fact it's only legal problem european law say one can't abandon his moral against a text, except 50 years after his death, 70 years in France, so CC0 can't be choosen
anyway we're looking if there's any problem to go to a less restrictive licence such as CC-BY, we will be sure at the end of the week

Which will be the first, french to reach 26 000 sentences or chinese to reach 3000 ?
(congratulations for spanish contributors and esperanto, they have reach 2000 and 100 sentences ! :D )

in fact it should be displayed in the main page :p
anyway as told on the post behind, we're going to code a lot this weekend, and to show the manual language selection just after adding a non-detected sentence :)

normaly on the main page, it should told you've added sentence that we can't determine the language
http://tatoeba.fr/eng/sentences/unknown_language
there you will be able to set your language as czech :)
PS: i've added a sentence in csech (1st article of human right) found on a website, hope there's no mistake in it

Thanks to take time to add your languages :D
but could you just respect a convention
begin sentences by an upper case and finish by a period :
"I love you." instead of "i love you" , it's just to make detection of duplicate easier, thanks :)

only the birthdate bug remains from now

yep, Trang and the others have made a good job for it :)

the last bug is known i'm on the way to fix it :)

Yep you're the first, feel free to report any bugs or strange behaviour you see :)

We all hope so :p
