I developed an enriched Persian stem and affix dictionary as a part of my research project in 2000 which took nearly 6 months of hardworking (6 entries). I got my words from a big corpus that I created myself from 10 different sources. It was enriched with semantic coded information and POS. The program developed to use this data, worked well and could potentially analyze millions of Persian words and generate correct POSs. I have not used it for any new project yet but may use it for my thesis to develope another technology for Persian. This program is a must and start point for any further technology aimed for Persian language processing. Peyman __ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! SiteBuilder - Free web site building tool.

Persian and Pan localization workshop
I was at Lahore the last week as a trainer for a workshop called the "Fundamentals of Local Language Computing" (http://www.panl10n.net/training.htm). It was a wonderful experience seeing Lahore, and meeting various people there, but I'm not writing about that here. Something that should be interesting for the members of this list, was the announcement of an official translation of the user interface of Microsoft Office 2003 to the Persian language (among others). What will be there, is a wordlist-based spellchecker, and full translation of the user interface and error messages of MS Office Standard Edition 2003 (Excel, Outlook, PowerPoint, and Word). It will be published as a gratis add-on downloadable from Microsoft's website, installable over an English version of MS Office 2003. The timing is still not known. I saw a basic demo, and was generally impressed. I believe this has been a good forward step for the users of the language, specially those who don't know English.

Pango is GNOME and GTK+'s text rendering engine for various languages and scripts. Shabdix is based on KDE, which uses Qt instead of Pango. The level of Persian support for Qt and Pango is different. I don't follow the Qt development anymore (but I heard that it had a bug with handling ZWNJ that Behdad Esfahbod fixed just recently), but Pango is undergoing a good rewrite of its Arabic script module to support all the complications of Persian. Currently, there are a few bugs with handling Harakat (Fatha, ...) there. A few Pakistani students have also started working on Pango to make it support Nastaliq (which is sometimes a requirement for Urdu) properly. roozbeh ___ PersianComputing mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.sharif.edu/mailman/listinfo/persiancomputing

In each case, special decoding software should be written, since these packages usually do not follow the Adobe standards. roozbeh ___ PersianComputing mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.sharif.edu/mailman/listinfo/persiancomputing

They behave more like a letter. This should be because of old software. What is the exact software you are using for that? If you have a copy of MS Office 2003, for example, can you reproduce the bug there? > Also, try as an example the result of Arabic Letter Waw (U+0648) + > Arabic Hamza Above (U+0654) compared to Arabic Letter Waw With Hamza > Above (U+0624). This is a bug. But I don't know if it can be fixed in a font instead of in software. I will check and see. > 2.

I've heard from employees of IPM (people reponsible for ".ir") that there is a standard format the Minisitry of Communications is recommending, and it is written in a document. I have asked them for a copy, but have not received it yet. If you live in Iran, try contacting a post office or the ministry. roozbeh ___ PersianComputing mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.sharif.edu/mailman/listinfo/persiancomputing
