Looks like it's not easy to find contemporary texts accompanied by a permissive license. The site liberliber.it has many free contemporary books, by the are all distributed under the CC-BY-NC-SA, and the NC (Non Commercial) bit is a bit problematic here. To play safe, better use books from project Gutenberg; I would go for romances, because they are likely to contain both dialogues and narrative text. Here's a list: http://www.gutenberg.org/wiki/IT_Romanzi_%28Biblioteca%29
They are all a bit oldish, but we can pick something from the beginning of last century, at least. A few options: - Il perduto amore, 1921 http://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/41281 - I sogni dell'anarchico, 1922 http://www.gutenberg.org/cache/epub/25175/pg25175.txt - I divoratori, 1922 http://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/34983.txt.utf-8 In other categories, other suitable books: - Fuochi di bivacco, 1913 http://www.gutenberg.org/files/49223/49223-0.txt (I like this because it's mostly in the present tense) - La favorita del Mahdi, 1911 http://www.gutenberg.org/cache/epub/25180/pg25180.txt (by Emilio Salgari!) Any opinions on which one we should pick? Whatever the choice, I think I'll give the chosen book a pass with sed and replace s/egli/lui/, s/ella/lei/, s/de'/dei/, and similar ones. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1591149 Title: Find more modern text for Italian word prediction To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-keyboard/+bug/1591149/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
