Tatoeba update (June 29th, 2015)

** Tatoeba update (June 29th, 2015) **

* Languages in drop-down lists (except the ones for adding a new sentence and adding a translation, which have not yet been changed) are now displayed in two parts: the user-specific languages at the top, and the other languages below. If a user is logged in, the user-specific languages are the ones in his or her profile. Otherwise, they are the ones most recently selected.
* Searching for sentences not translated into a particular language is now faster.
* The "has audio" icon is now displayed correctly for translations in lists.
* Previously, when an attempt was made to auto-detect the language for a sentence, and auto-detection failed, the sentence was not added. This has been fixed.
* Searching for a user's sentences in a given language used to cause an incorrect message to be displayed when no results were found. This has been fixed.

Tatoeba update (May 9th, 2015)

# Plurals #
* Improved handling of plurals in the user interface for languages such as Russian and Belarusian.

# Statistics #
​* The "Sentences by language" page was updated graphically. It still contains the same information as before.
* There are 2 new statistics pages:
** The number of members in each language for each level. This page can be accessed from the menu: "Members" > "Languages of members". Previously, this link was redirecting to a specific language (the one with the highest number of members). Now we can have global statistics.
** The number of native speakers in each language for each user status. This page can be accessed from the menu: "Members" > "Native speakers". The user status icons should be improved to work for color blind people. Suggestions are welcome.

# Miscellaneous #
* Improved furigana for words that start with a kana character.
* Updated the list of donations. Thanks to those who have contributed.

Tatoeba update (April 25th, 2015)

# Redirection after registration:
* Instead of being redirected to the "Help" page after registering, users are redirected to the home page. They are shown a flash message that welcomes them and recommends that they add languages to their profile.

# Lists of languages:
* The dropdown lists for adding a new language, adding a translation, or changing the language of a sentence are restricted to the languages indicated in your profile.
* People who have not added any language in their profile will not see the form to add a sentence or translation. Instead, they will see a message with a button to go to the page to add a language.
* The "Auto detect" option appears only if there are two or more languages in the profile.
