9 years ago Thanks for the bug report! Could you let me know what OS you're using and what version of Java you have installed? I'll look into stomping this bug as soon as I get a chance. ^^

9 years ago Sure. I'm using Windows 8.1 and the latest version of Java, 1.8.0_25

9 years ago Could you send me a copy of your dictionary? I am not able to reproduce this on my end. I'm not sure whether I've inadvertently fixed it with one of the newer changes I've made (currently running a beta of 0.8.5 over here), or whether there's some specific case in your dictionary that I haven't seen in the past.

9 years ago I'll be glad to. It's the only one I've got so far. I've got to make five more eventually but one thing at a time. :)
May I post a suggestion, maybe two, that might be beneficial to many conlangers? I was thinking about a field with the alien font (whatever that might be) a romanized version where the spelling may be different. For the font I'm using "x" for the "sh" and "v" for the "uh" (schewa) sound where I'd like to use a diacritic above u and some other letter so I have something like "rŭŝ" instead of "rvx". Randal

9 years ago Let's see... first off, could you link me to where you uploaded your pgd file? Once I have that, I'll be able to boot up my Windows 8.1/Java 1.8 box to test on.
As for the suggestion, I'm not sure I understand exactly what you mean. Isn't that more or less what the pronunciations do? I think I'm not understanding what you mean there. The newest version of PolyGlot supports regular expressions in the pronunciations fields, which makes it wildly more powerful. That might be able to do what you're looking for.

9 years ago Sorry, I attached it to the e-mail. I'll upload it to GitHub.
I was thinking I may not have explained it too well. I've created a font of strange characters to represent a one-to-one relationship with a phoneme. However, the dictionary was in a Latin based alphabet previously using digraphs so that the font character "x" would represent the Latin characters "sh", and so-on. There are two, maybe three like this.
So what I was thinking of was a column for the one with the font (think of Tengwar), one with the transliteration (the Romanized or Latin alphabet), and the final one in English or whatever the host language is.
Does that make any sense?
I'm looking forward to the regex as it will save me a lot of time. I've been changing so many things repetitiously as I am ironing out the rough draft of the conlang, what sounds right, what looks right, and so-on. This will be great. :)
Will there be a sound changer sort of thing in the future, something like p->b/V_C?

9 years ago I haven't found a way to upload the file. I've looked around for everything. I've tried dragging and dropping it and GitHub doesn't support the file. It only takes images. Any ideas?

9 years ago It looks like this was addressed with a prior mod... closing issue.
At least it isn't working for me. I push the button but it never shows that it recalculated nor shows any updates in the lexicon. I changed to the X-Sampa on all the lettering and nothing happened. I tried closing it out re-opening, restarting the program and reloading the database... no difference.
