Documentation around adding support for new language #146

Open ashishnegi opened 7 years ago

ashishnegi commented 7 years ago

Hi

Thanks for this cool project.

I would like to access documentation around adding support for a new language. I could not find it in readme. and There is no wiki page.

I tried looking at ml.tar.gz but it seems it has words followed by numbers. I could not understand its format. I looked under schemes and could make sense out of it. However, i would like to have proper documentation around so that i can add support for new language.

Again, thanks for the wonderful work.

Hi,

Thanks. Documentation is not yet matured. Look here - https://www.varnamproject.com/docs/concepts to understand basic concepts. Some documentation for adding a new language is available at - https://www.varnamproject.com/docs/adding-a-new-language.

Which language are you trying to add?

Thanks. Documentation is actually good for getting started. 👍 for the efforts.

I am trying to add support for Garhwali, a dialect of Hindi. I think, I might need to not do anything actually. Main problem is to find the corpus, so that transliteration happens good. Like कन (kan) is a valid word in Garhwali. Is my understanding right ?
