Hi, yes, you're right. But ... The pair Swedish-Danish (sv-da) is full of comments about different groups of words (within the categories). Comments like: check these etc. Sorting would create a terrible mess! And when the dictionary isn't sorted, it's not obvious where to put a new entry.
My simple tools makes it possible to add new words, without solving all old problems. I prefer to tackle them one at a time, when I feel like it. BTW: isn't it a shame that we all have are own personal tools for adding words? It would be great if we could build an universal tool for adding words. Yours, Per Tunedal PS I've just updated my tools to version 0.2. I've added the possibility to create a monodix with the help of a bidix, and fixed a lot of bugs. Now you can work like this: A. Create a monodix in language 1. B. Create a bidix from the monodix (simply adding the translation) and finally, C. Create a monodix in language 2 from the bidix. http://www.tunedal.nu/download/AddToDix/ On Sun, Jan 6, 2013, at 23:31, Bernard Chardonneau wrote: > > X-Mailer: MessagingEngine.com Webmail Interface - html > > Date: Wed, 02 Jan 2013 17:32:44 +0100 > > From: Per Tunedal <[email protected]> > > To: Apertium Stuff <[email protected]> > > Reply-To: [email protected] > > Subject: [Apertium-stuff] Tools for adding to dictionaries > > > > Hi again, > > (..........) > > > > A side effect is that it will be unnecessary to sort the dictionaries! > > You can be sure that you don't add some word already present and new > > words can be pasted anywhere in the dictionary files. > > > I just answer to this point. > > I previously wrote, I also have my personal tools for adding word, > and I think we are a lot to work like this. > > But sometimes, we just have to correct a mistake. > > For instance, last week, I compared analysis of French done by eo-fr > and fr-es pairs.
