How to change the text format?

You can change the font or its size by inputing CSS code in the source.

This is an example with YOUR CONTENT in size 20px, font Times, weight bold and colour red.

Use the following code (with the Edit Source tab on the top right of the page):

<span style="font-size:20px;font-family: Times;font-weight:bold;color: red">YOUR CONTENT</span>

How to contribute to a language which I totally don't understand?

You can search for the information on the internet but do not cut and paste exactely the same content as Google search engine can penalize your article and even the entire website. It means it will not be visible on search engines. Duplicate content will have to be deleted. Also, if you were inspired by another webpage please write the page address in a "References" section at the bottom.

Besides, sometimes content is protected by copyright.

If you are not sure which meaning a word should be in a specific situation, you can enter the word in your known language on Wikipedia, and view the page in that language. Vice versa.

It's precious if those languages relatively not popular are contributed to.

What should I do if I don' have enough time to create a whole lesson?

You can create an incomplete lesson, even only a few words. Other people will complete it.
