Miscellaneous Quality Control Issues with Slavic

[ ] One word is not playing (‘write!’); again, this applies to most Slavic recordings so there must be a general technical issue here that is hopefully easy to fix.
[ ] Greater Poland Some words say “soon”, we need to check if the sound files actually exist.
[ ] Mazovian A few words showing “soon” or having a transcription but no sound.
[ ] All Kashubian A few words showing a black play button or having a transcription but no sound.
[ ] Sorbian U Cath Some of the alternative pronunciations are not playing. ‘dead’ has a transcription but no sound.

Languages with many sound files failing to show -- missing from the server?

There are cases where languages that should have a full set of sound files do not. This is most likely caused by those files failing to load properly to the server (or having somehow been deleted since). Please check these up and fix. Please also use the diagnostic tools to identify and fix all other such cases. Here are some first examples.

[x] http://www.soundcomparisons.com/#/en/Malakula/language/Oce_Van_Mal_East_SCtr_Pangkumu_Datisman_Dl has problems with the numerals and othethe words. --> other words are coorected. numbers are just not transcribed (no transcription in the excel for the numbers (Rgn 6)

Transcriptions do not match sound files

For Germanic study:

[x] http://www.soundcomparisons.com/#/en/Germanic/language/Gmc_W_Fri_East_Sater_Schaeddel_Dl mismatches for one, two, three only

For Malakula study: In some Malakula languages, there's a mismatch that affects many words in that language. Listen to 'woman' in the languages below, for example: the transcription is clearly for another word, and does not match the sound file. (And a few more examples and you'll hear/see the other mismatches.

There are two possible causes: 1) There is a problem with the excel grid, which does not sync correctly with the big sound file for this language, so the segmentation and export went wrong. 2) When the transcriptions were pasted in from Aviva's own excel file into the SndComp transcriptions template, there was a mismatch between word and transcription that started at some point in the transcriptions list. 'Woman' should be the transcription in the next cell down, for example.

We need to (manually) identify all the languages affected, and go back to fix whatever is the cause in each case, and either re-segment the sound files, or re-create the SQL transcription files.
