Re: [Openadaptxt-linguists] New Language

[Jens C. <jch...@ke...>]

Hi Chris,
Welcome to Openadaptxt. Currently there aren't anybody working on any of the Polynesian languages. Please feel free to ask any questions you might have and also to have a look through the previous threads in the mailing list for some more info on how to create a dictionary.

Michael: That does sound like a good idea. While I look into it I will at least create a better description on how to create a dictionary, based on our experience with the Gaelic languages. Sorry you had to be the guinea pig ;-)

Cheers,
Jens

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
