As your probably know I am about to undertake Aspell multi language support however I need your help as I know little to nothing about other languages. So I would really appreciate it if people could fill me in for doing the following: 1) Reading over http://metalab.unc.edu/kevina/aspell/international/ and letting me know I am overlooking anything. 2) Telling me about the languages you know. To avoid a lot of people sending me duplicate information I ask that you post the message to the Aspell mailing list with the subject "Information on X language". In particular I am looking for a) What 8-bit character sets are typically used for your language and any shortcomings those character sets may have. b) What letters are vowels in your language c) What additional charters can appear in a word in your language and where they can appear such as the "-" in French or the "'" in English. d) Additional considerations that should be taken into account for spell checking your language such as allowing run together words. f) Links to word lists for you language and a critique of how good you think they are. g) Any LGPL or weaker code for converting words in your language to there sound like or phoneme equivalent. Good soundlike code will allow similar sounding words to have the same mapping such as dog and dig. Good phoneme code will map a word into how it really sounds. Thanks in advance. The more people I have telling me about their language the better I can make Aspell support it. I really want to get things right from the start so that I don't have to redesign something in the future. -- Kevin Atkinson [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://metalab.unc.edu/kevina/ --- Note: This message was origanlly posted to [EMAIL PROTECTED], not [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ aspell-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.sourceforge.net/mailman/listinfo/aspell-user
