Thanks for your comment.

How can this be a line-ending issue?  Where are line-endings involved?

What is appending an extra character to the first word and why?

The 1st input word *is* being recognised and translated (as I said, the 
translations under dos are correct) --- "bydd" translates to "will be".

I'm using identical material under cygwin and dos, the only difference 
is under cygwin I'm using a shell script and under dos I'm using a 
".bat" file.  If it is a line-ending issue why is it affecting dos and 
not cygwin?
