Then do the magic and replace "Spanish" with "Swedish" and "English" with "Danish". It will work the same way. > (snip) > > > > > And do your algorithm on it. > > Weer should I build the algorithm?

Do it in a standalone module. You have access to the output of the lexical-transfer stage as I described in my previous email. This is all the information you will need. If you want to get the information from the bidix and monodix in a text-format, you can use the "lt-expand" tool. > > > > * For Swedish-Danish this will be unnecessary. > > > > > > Why?

Yes, this means that it will never get done. Remember the Unix philosophy.
