When reading Japanese Kougo module ( which has ruby annotations ) with Xiphos 3.1, right cricking on the text and selecting [Modules options] ->[Tranliteration] , we have alphabetical texts instead of kanji characters.
For example, japanese text of Genesis 1.1 はじめに神は天と地とを創造された。 is transliterated into hajimeniShinhaTentoChitowoSouZousareta。 'は' correspond to 'ha', 'じ' correspond to 'ji' and so on. But '神' should correspond to 'kami' instead of 'Shin', because the original OSIS file's ruby annotation should be like はじめに<w gloss="かみ">神</w>は<w gloss="てん">天</w>と... which says '神' should be pronounciated as 'kami' ( 'か' correspond to 'ka' and 'み' correspond to 'mi' ). and the resulting transliterated text should be hajimenikamihatentotitowosouzousareta. Though, there are some exceptions of ruby and pronounciations ( expecially in Japanese Bungo text ) , if this rule is properly implemented, the resulting text would become more readable. -- jovanni _______________________________________________ sword-devel mailing list: sword-devel@crosswire.org http://www.crosswire.org/mailman/listinfo/sword-devel Instructions to unsubscribe/change your settings at above page
