Re: [native-lang] Fwd: [dev] Announcement of Pangloss study: extending OpenOffice for linguists

It sounds like a very messy way to create translations. I suppose it could be useful with very complex and lengthy sentences, or with languages for which we don't yet have a viable vocabulary. More for research than production use, I think.

But it's great that they want to use OOo for this. :D

Objet : [dev] Announcement of Pangloss study: extending OpenOffice for linguists The Rosetta Project is happy to announce the Pangloss project, which aims to extend the open-source productivity suite OpenOffice.org to allow it to interact natively with data types used by linguists working on language description. This project is being initiated by an NSF grant (BCS-0715246) funding an initial feasibility study which will focus on adding capabilities Interlinear texts are a special data type used by academic linguists in which sentences from a language being described are annotated with multiple lines of aligned text. The format generally consists of a sentence from the word-by-word translation of the text using standardized grammatical markup conventions, followed by a free translation of the entire sentence. Other annotation lines and various kinds of metadata may also appear, depending on A simple example of such an interlinear text describing a sentence from (abbreviations are 1PL for first person plural, and OBJ.MRKR for object In its initial phase, the Pangloss project aims to develop an extension for OpenOffice.org, written in Python, to create and transform interlinear glossed text data within the OpenOffice suite while storing the text data in an archival xml form within the OpenDocument format. The project goals OpenDocument format, and recommendations for best-practice development in community may have for us as we move forward with this project. Please
