Yet another italian! :) One thing I saw when typing on the keyboard with an Italian dictionary is that it does not recognise loanwords from English (and at the current days we use them a lot in our everyday Italian).
(random) e.g. "Mi è arrivato dello SPAM in posta" -> "Mi è arrivato dello SPAMPANAVA in posta" I think that any old novel couldn't help with this. Could some resource from Wikipedia be integrated with any of the novels above? As far as I can see, Wikipedia/Wikizionario/* content is CC BY-SA licensed. As alternative, I found a dictionary from the Boot2Gecko project, which seems to be complete enough (and includes English loanwords). https://github.com/mozilla-b2g/gaia/blob/master/apps/keyboard/js/imes/latin/dictionaries/it_wordlist.xml A good thing is that dirty words are already marked, so they can be easily filtered out. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to ubuntu-keyboard in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1591149 Title: Find more modern text for Italian word prediction Status in ubuntu-keyboard package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: The text used for word prediction in Italian [1] is IMHO not very suitable for the goal of predicting words typed into computers nowadays (especially on phones), fo a few reasons: - it's very old -- from 1868; particles like "cotesto", "pel", "pei" are not used anymore - it's mostly written in the "passato remoto" past tense, which is not that common in modern speech - it talks about history, with ample use of long and rarely used words. - dialogues are entirely missing I think it should be changed with a modern text, not without dialogues. Does this have to be a single book, or can we assemble a few different texts together (i'm thinking about adding some pieces from newspapers, blogs and short novels, mostly)?
