25 | ||
26 | ... | |
27 | ||
28 | ### We want complete sentences. | |
29 | * We don't want just words and phrases. | |
30 | * Phrases used as complete utterances in everyday conversation are OK if included in a dialog, showing their use in context. | |
31 | * Example: *"When did Tom arrive?" "Just before Mary did."* | |
32 | ||
33 | ### Don't include annotations as part of sentences. | |
34 | * Don't include things like the following inside your sentences. | |
35 | * *He/she* as in *He/she said it was hot.* | |
36 | * Instead, you should submit 2 sentences. | |
37 | * *He said it was hot.* | |
38 | * *She said it was hot.* | |
39 | * *(female speaker)* as in *She said it was hot. (female speaker)* | |
40 | * Instead, put this as a comment and ask for someone to add it as a tag. | |
41 | * If you have tagging rights, then tag it yourself. | |
42 | * *(by Mark Twain)* as in *If you tell the truth, you don't have to remember anything. (by Mark Twain)* | |
43 | * Instead, put this as a comment and ask for someone to add it as a tag. | |
44 | * If you have tagging rights, then tag it yourself. | |
45 | ||
46 | ### Don't forget capitalization and punctuation. | |
47 | * Sentences should be written in the normal way that an educated native speaker would write them. | |
48 | ||
49 | ### Only adopt "orphan" sentences in your own native language. | |
50 | * Adopting is a way to give your "stamp of approval." | |
51 | * A "stamp of approval" by a native speaker means more, so that's why we have this guideline. | |
52 | ||
53 | ### Behave like mature adults. | |
54 | ||
55 | * Collaborative projects such as ours work best when people cooperate and get along with each other. | |
56 | * Read details: [Rules Against Bad Behavior](rules-against-bad-behavior) | |
57 | ||
58 | ## Hints and Suggestions | |
59 | ||
60 | ### When contributing new sentences that are not translations of other sentences, search first to help avoid submitting duplicates. | |
61 | ||
62 | * Some duplicates are created naturally as you add translations to sentences. Our duplicate-merging script will eventually take care of these. | |
63 | * However, if you are contributing a new sentence that is not a translation and that sentence is a duplicate, you waste other members' time, because they will unnecessarily translate a duplicate that has likely already been translated. | |
64 | * Read details: [How to Search for Text](http://en.wiki.tatoeba.org/articles/show/text-search) | |
65 | ||
66 | ||
67 | ||
68 | ## Suggested New Guidelines - Not Yet Official | |
69 | ||
70 | ### Don't submit strange sentences and translations | |
71 | * For example, don't translate a person's name, such as Dick, into the word "Haystack." | |
72 | * FRENCH: Dick essaya en vain de résoudre le problème. | |
73 | * [tatoeba.org/969450](http://tatoeba.org/eng/sentences/show/969450) | |
74 | * ENGLISH: Haystack tried in vain to solve the problem. | |
