Re: [Openadaptxt-linguists] New Language

[Michael B. <fi...@ak...>]

Welcome to the list Chris ;)

Jens, Chris is the chap I mentioned some time ago when we were talking 
about Samoan but I think he intends to start on some others first. 
Anyway, something that occurred to me while thinking about that. Given 
the number of new languages, would it not be better to integrate the 
gubbins into a web interface in a password protected are so that once 
someone has signed up to maintain/do a locale, they input the language 
name, ISO and special characters needed and the site builds the atd/xml 
etc files and grabs a number for the language. On a separate screen, one 
could upload the txt files - perhaps even split up as a txt file for the 
line seperated tokens, a file for the url stuff, one for connected text 
if one wants to and so on and at the end it just outputs the files. It 
would have probably saved you and me a lot of time, given the knots I 
managed to tie myself into.

Just a thought

Michael
