Restoring spell-check dictionaries in WeSay when FLEx is installed

Author chris.hirt | 21.03.2011 | Category OurWord, Linux, FLEx, Chorus, Palaso Library, Spelling, Typesetting, Solid, Blogroll, WeSay, Developers, Dictionary, Uncategorized

Recently we discovered that spell-check dictionaries were not showing up in the WeSay config tool when FLEx was also installed. FLEx’s bundles Enchant (spell checker service) in its installer while WeSay requires you to install Enchant separately. The problem actually occurs on machines where FLEx was installed before WeSay, because of the way Enchant looks for installed dictionaries: Enchant looks for dictionaries in the same directory as the libenchant.dll , which is in the PATH. Eventually, we will include a solution in the WeSay installer, but until that is fixed, this .reg file will tell Enchant where the common installed dictionaries are located. Note: change the downloaded file to the extention .reg and double click it to add the registry value to Windows.

More on xml pretty printing

Author Tim | 26.01.2011 | Category OurWord, Linux, FLEx, Chorus, Palaso Library, Spelling, Typesetting, Solid, Blogroll, WeSay, Developers, Dictionary, Uncategorized

Recently we had a problem with Chorus turning our pretty printed Xml LIFT files into a single line after a merge.

In trying to fix this we thought that the best strategy from a line-diff version control perspective was to maintain the formatting of the two parent files where entries are unchanged.

However we discovered that there is no easy way to read white space within an element node. This is a problem because WeSay writes LIFT with a new line for each attribute. So, on read:

<entry    id='alpha'>    <lexical-unit>		<form            lang='a'>            <text>form alpha</text>		</form	</lexical-unit></entry>

becomes:

<entry id='alpha'>    <lexical-unit>		<form lang='a'>            <text>form alpha</text>		</form	</lexical-unit></entry>

So the formatting within the element tag is lost.
As we thought about it some more we realized that WeSay at least reformats everything on the first Lift merge. So for the time being we will simply make that formatting the standard for Chorus as well.

Using the Internet to collaboration on a dictionary

Author John Hatton | 21.06.2010 | Category WeSay

Get yourself a LanguageDepot.org Account

Go to Language Depot and create yourself an account.

Please don’t use the same password you use for anything important… WeSay is NOT going to be careful about keeping your password well-hidden.

Get a LanguageDepot.org Project for the Language

Write to admin@languagedepot.org. Please provide the following information:

The name of the account you created in the previous step
The name of the project. Normally, the name of the language works well for this.
The ISO 639-3 code for the language. Easiest way to find that is via the Ethnologue.

We will do three things:

1) Create the language project

2) Give you manager permissions on that project. With those permissions, you will be able to assign additional contributors to the project, and turn features of the web site on and off.

3) Create a contributor account name “____Contributor” (with your code where the blanks are).

People you have not added to the project will not be able to access your data. However, we wouldn’t pretend to promise any real “security”. If you need that, it’s perfectly ok to use a Mercurial server somewhere else… you aren’t tied to LanguageDepot.org.

Unless you tell us otherwise, we’ll assume it is ok for us to occasionally look at the files in your repository project for the purpose of fixing a problem for you or seeing how the collaboration features are being used in real projects.

Make sure you backup the WeSay project before embarking on any major change like this.

Get the Data Together

It’s important that there is a single, up-to-date copy of the dictionary when you first put it up on Language Depot. If there is currently only a single person working on the dictionary, you need to get their project, and delete the project from their computer. That does two good things: ensures they don’t keep working on it, and ensures that they will be using the proper version of the project later.

If there are multiple copies of the dictionary out there, you need to do that for each one of them. That is, get the project, remove it from their computer. You have an extra step in this case, which is to merge the entries together. Read these instructions on merging LIFT files.

Get the Most Recent Version of WeSay

The stuff shown here requires version 0.7 of WeSay, or greater. Get the latest on the WeSay Downloads Page.

Push the project up to LanguageDepot

Ok, once you have a single dictionary folder with the whole team’s data, it’s time to do the initial push up to LanguageDepot.

First, run the Configuration Tool, and Open your project.

Go to “Actions”, and scroll until you see Send/Receive:

Click that button with the two arrows, and you should see:

Now click “Set Up”, and fill in the account details from the email you received from us.

Click “OK”. Now, the Internet button becomes available, labeled with the name of the server you will be synchronizing with.

Notice that the “Set Up” button disappeared. This is intentional. We want to decrease the chance that a user will accidentally mess up his/her ability to do a send/receive by messing up their account information. Therefore, once set up, WeSay hides that Set Up button. Notice that hovering over the button reveals the trick for getting it back, if you really need to change your account settings:

Click “Internet”, and if all your account settings are correct, your project will be pushed up to the LanguageDepot server.

Pull the project down to the computers of your colleagues

Run the WeSay Configuration Tool, and click “Get From Internet”:

As before, we enter the account information:

And click Download.

Pull the project down to the computers of the rest of the team

Now do the same for each member of the team. It’s fine to reuse the same “___Contributor” account for each of them… just make sure that their Windows/Linux account names are unique, as that is what will be used to keep track of who did what when you look at the project history.

Begin Collaborating

You’ll notice a Send/Receive button now shows up on the dashboard:

Clicking it there will show a dialog like this:

Clicking “Internet” starts the synchronization:

Note: when WeSay detects that some changes were pulled down from the internet, it closes down and restarts itself so that it has a nice clean start with the new data.

Using Collaboration Notes

Author John Hatton | 15.06.2010 | Category WeSay

Collaboration is more than just sharing changes. It turns out that as soon as you start working with others using Send/Receive, you find you want to write notes to them. So we added the ability to attach questions to lexical entries, and to carry on conversations about the question. Future versions will add other kinds of notes, and allow them to be attached to particular fields, not just whole entries.

In the following screenshot, notice the circled buttons. We’d click the left-most to add a new question to this entry. The other button represents a previous, unresolved question. A click on it brings up a dialog box in which we can read and answer the question.

Ok, but how do you find which entries have unresolved notes? WeSay 0.7 also introduces the Notes Browser, which lets you find and interact with notes from all over the dictionary:

In addition to Questions, WeSay currently supports just one other kind of note, the Merge Conflict. These are created by the automatic merger when two team members edit the same field at the same time. Unlike traditional version control systems, Chorus (the engine we’ve written to do all this) doesn’t stop the merge and force you to deal with the problem immediately. Instead, it makes its best guess as to what to do, then creates a Merge Conflict Note which the team can read and deal with when it is ready.

If you don’t like what the merger did, go the entry and make whatever changes are necessary. Then click the “resolved” box to show that this has been dealt with. Or if you need to discuss what to do with a teammate, add a new message to the note. In the following screenshot, I’ve highlighted the hyperlink at the top, and the Resolved box at the bottom.

Viewing the History Of Changes

Author John Hatton | 12.06.2010 | Category WeSay

Like most things in WeSay, you, the Advisor, need to turn on the collaboration features which are appropriate for your project. There are two optional tasks you can enable if you want:

These show up on the dashboard under the “review” section:

The history show you all the changes the team has made:

Those familiar with WeSay will notice that the history screen is more complex than what we expect many WeSay users to handle. Use your own discretion. It may be that you, the advisor, will want this enabled in your configuration, but not in that of the rest of the team.

WeSay Dictionary Collaboration

Author John Hatton | 09.06.2010 | Category WeSay

Since we first introduced WeSay a couple years ago, we’ve heard one request over and over: “Make it so that multiple people can collaborate on the dictionary”. We’ve now delivered on that, and you can try it out by downloading the latest 0.7 Development Release.

In the next series of posts, I’ll walk through the basics of setting up your dictionary project so that team members can synchronize their work with each other. We’ll see how to do this using a USB flash drive, server on a local network, or the internet. We’ll look at two optional features: viewing the complete history of who did what, and having chat-like conversations about an individual entry.

Merging LIFT dictionary files

Author John Hatton | 21.01.2010 | Category WeSay

If you aren’t yet using the new collaboration features of WeSay, you may have multiple versions of your dictionary out there. Here are a few notes on ways to get them together.

The simplest case is where the users have been working on completely different sets of words, with no overlap. That is, they each started with completely empty dictionaries, which have never once been merged together. In this specific case, you can merge them by hand. Do that by opening each .lift file and copying all the <entry>…</entry> chunks of one file in next to the <entry>…</entry> chunks of the other file. Open in WeSay to make sure you didn’t mess the lift file up.

In the more general case, you will want to merge them together using FieldWorks Language Explorer (FLEx). To do that, follow these steps:

1) Create a new project using FLEx.

2) Import each .lift file into the project, one at a time, until you have a nice combined dictionary.

If getting/installing/using FLEx seems like to much, you can always just ask for someone to do this for you. Write to the WeSay email list and ask someone to do the merge for you.

More control over “missing info” tasks

Author John Hatton | 22.06.2009 | Category WeSay

WeSay has always had Tasks which would show you just the words that needed some more information in a particular field. However, the selection of which entries to show was pretty blunt: if the field had an empty slot in any of its multiple writing systems, the task would show that entry. This meant that you couldn’t easily set up WeSay for a user who, for example, just wanted to add vernacular definitions where English ones had already been entered.

In another case, we might want to set a user up to add voice recordings of example sentences. But the task should only show example sentences where someone had previously entered in the example text.

The latest development release (0.5 build 2000) addresses this. When you first create a project, tasks are configured to have the same behavior as before: an entry will be chosen if *any* of the writing systems assigned to that field are empty.

You can now limit the task to filling in the vernacular (gaw, in this example):

In addition, we can limit the task to only those entries where some other writing system has already been filled in:

Thanks, Mark, for taking the time to submit this request. We would appreciate any feedback you can give us on this feature. Does it work well for you?

The obvious next step would be to add a way make duplicates of some tasks, so that you could have both an “Add Examples” and an “Add Example Recordings” task. This is now possible by editing the .wesayconfig file in a text editor. If you want to know how, set me an message (hattonjohn at gmail). That will tell me how much demand there is for it, and if there’s enough, we’ll make it easier.

WeSay, Palaso, and Linux

Author cambell | 29.05.2009 | Category OurWord, Linux, WeSay

Feeling in somewhat of a reflective mood I thought I’d write about the current state of our work with Linux, and have a look at where we hope to go in the next few months.

Over the last few months (er year) we’ve been working on getting our applications to run on the Ubuntu Linux platform. We are hoping that this will enable our applications to be well used on the new breed of net books and other lesser specified machines. The main work has been centered around the mono project which enables .Net Winforms applications (most commonly a Windows technology) to run on Linux. So, where are we now?

The http://packages.palaso.org repository has been launched to make our software available to you all.
WeSay 0.4 (stable) is available from packages.palaso.org. Install details are on the WeSay Wiki on projects.palaso.org. This is an early release and has a number of issues that we know about. Have a look at the WeSay bug tracker for further information.
OurWord is available from packages.palaso.org. Install details are on the OurWord Wiki on projects.palaso.org. Again this is an early release, there are a number of visual issues which are being tracked on the OurWord bug tracker.
Automatic USB stick detection now works. That means in WeSay, you can click backup and expect it to wait for you to put a USB stick into your computer and the backup will ‘just work’.

There are a few significant issues that we’ve noticed and we’re working on fixing these up over the next month or two.

Keyboard switching doesn’t work. In WeSay we make extensive use of keyboard switching. If you’re editing a field that’s say IPA they keyboard should be set to IPA for you. When you tab to another field with a different writing system the keyboard should change automatically. We are fixing this by contributing to the SCIM project. We’re extending it’s capability to support our Keyboard Switching component. We expect to have this available very soon.
Non Roman Script rendering using Mono doesn’t work. We’re fixing this in Mono, by re-writing large chunks of the Text Control. This will take some time to filter through and become available - perhaps some time in the next three months.
The WeSay development branch (0.5.x) doesn’t currently work with Mono. We’re working on bringing that up to date so that we can release on Windows and Ubuntu simultaneously.

Once we’ve finished these issues, we’ll be back to focusing on core features of our products rather than enabling Linux to run them. At that time we’ll leave the improvement of Mono and Linux to others.

Well, enough reflecting. Time to go get a coffee and carry on with the work.

Further details can be found on our various projects at http://projects.palaso.org
