Dictionary is not a problem. This is the option for Ekavian-Iyekavian conversion engine for Serbian. I made an algorithm with exponential complexity (I am not a programmer :) ), but Robert Stojnic (maintainer of the Serbian conversion engine) said that it is possible to avoid it. > - one variety has so much support in the linguistic community that the > minority is small and discouraged to create a Wikipedia of their own.

If we don't start to deal with those issues, we won't be able to have a better product. If we start it, our chances will become much better :) So, simpler cases may be solved faster, more complex cases may be solved not so fast. But, if we have something which may be able to solve simpler cases, we would be able to go further. _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list foundation-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
