    In order for searches to work efficiently, a verb conjugator is
    needed (so we can look up not only 'tenir' for example, but
    also tingui, tens, tenia etc... ) Web Verbix, which is currently
    used, is no good as it is accessed via an external link (and
    only allows 50 lookups a day). We are currently halfway
    through providing our own verb tables for Catalan (for now
    including only those verbs we currently have in the
    dictionary). Need to finish from 'M' onwards. Hopefully will
    be able to add conjugations as and when we add new verbs
    to the Catalan-English dictionary.

    Irregular plurals of nouns, adjectives etc. should not cause a
    problem as their irregular plural forms are already recorded in
    the database.

    The tables are now complete for the verb conjugator in
    Catalan. They need to be tied into the search facilities.

    Basic search engines have been put on the site, but they are
    currently experiencing problems with words containing
    capitals or accents (either in the search or in the entry itself).

    This week we need to sort out the accent and capitalization
    problems and also use the 'irregular plurals' tags together with
    the verb conjugation material to enable more intelligent
    searches.
