Backoffice tours is the integrated and interactive help for the backoffice
A Dashboard is a component for displaying elements on the right-hand side of the backoffice UI area.
The Umbraco backoffice consists of sections (sometimes referred to as applications) which contain trees. For example, when you load the backoffice you'll see that the 'Content' section contains one tree: the content tree whereas the 'Settings' section contains a number of trees: Stylesheets, Content Types, Media Types, etc...
Both sections and trees can be created to extend Umbraco.
A property editor is the editor used to insert content into Umbraco. See here for definition.
This section will describe how to work with and create Property Editors.

The Umbraco backoffice can be configured so that the user interface runs in the user's native language. This is made possible with community generated language files, if your language is not currently supported, why not help to add support?
Developers can create their own Umbraco Health Checks and Health Check notification methods.
