Provide auto:t and espt:t also as options #1090

Closed aarppe closed 2 years ago

aarppe commented 2 years ago

Besides toggling English phrase generation (auto:t) and analysis (espt:1) via tags, allow user to toggle these in the options.

aarppe commented 2 years ago

For the sake of having logical tags, I would perhaps rather use cwt:1/t or swt:1/t, or even wt:1/t for (Cree/source) word translation (instead of auto), and ept:1/t or tpt:1/t, or even pt:1/t, for (English) phrase translation. I'd leave "simple" out in order to keep the tags simple and short. Other possibilities could be c2e and e2c.

@nienna73 After some further thinking, if the user makes the deliberate choice of writing a full English mini-sentence or noun-phrase - that is not usually how one searches an on-line dictionary - in such a case one could take this as an explicit cue that they are hoping for English phrase analysis and subsequent Cree word-form generation. So we can treat these as the default options, that the user can then switch off, if they so wish.

@nienna73 - I couldn't find the original comment I had about the option texts, so I'm revisiting this here, since I still think that even the revised wordings are not the best.

I'd take as the starting point what the user writes.

For what used to be called auto:t, I would call that:

For what used to be called espt:1, I could call that:

Please let me know if the above makes sense or not.
