You're not being clear. Do you mean converting from an existing source? We tend to write scripts for that. They're usually ad hoc, because each bilingual source tends to have its own source - it's rare to find something general. A number of the GCI tasks are based around that. Do you mean entering the XML? Again, that can be scripted. (Hint: if you're typing every character of every line, it's time to consider taking an introductory class in scripting). Do you mean actually constructing the bidix? That's an extremely strange thing to call 'skill-less', but, IIRC, your project involved a huge amount of similarity in the bidix, and from that point of view, I guess that could look like a whole bunch of drudge work, but we would typically script such things. If you check back through the archives, you'll see that there has been discussion recently about an interface for adding words. A number of people have worked on it, and it's a more difficult task than you might expect. -- <Sefam> Are any of the mentors around? <jimregan> yes, they're the ones trolling you ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ RSA(R) Conference 2012 Save $700 by Nov 18 Register now http://p.sf.net/sfu/rsa-sfdev2dev1 _______________________________________________ Apertium-stuff mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/apertium-stuff
