>Help on the language files for LINGOMASTER.
The files in the language directory contain the text files which set up the
accents.
>French: The accents are all the small letter ones, as capitals do not need
accents.
>German: All the necessary accents, plus the division sign which I have used
as an alternative for the line with an umlaut in plurals, eg:
der Bahnhof (÷e) (where the plural is die Bahnhöfe). See supplied files.
>Latin: Not a complicated file - there aren't any accents. The file is just
there to facilitate the loading of Latin vocab files.
>Italian: I have put in the accents I think are needed, upper + lower case;
no promises though - I don't speak very good Italian (I think that translates
Non parlo bene l'italiano!).
Creating a new language (!!)
****************************
To set up a new language:
1> Load Edit and click on the icon.
2> Type the full name of the language and press RETURN.
3> Enter the accents in order in which you want them stored (ie. F1 first)
followed by RETURN. Hint: Use Chars/NewChars/NewChars2/ImpChars (all PD
programs) to aid entering.
4> Save it with a filename <10 chars in the Language directory.
5> Create a directory within the 'Vocab' directory with a suitable name.
Check your User Guide if you are unsure how to do this. Registered
users can write to me for help.
