#11 Combination of symbols 'ij' in Dutch

Michael Bunk — Thu, 06 Mar 2014 20:07:51 -0000

I like Piotr's suggestion, but I'm fine with either option currently on the table.

Overriding rules in included stylesheets is a basic feature of XSLT. But the Makefiles currently don't allow this.

Another thing to consider is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unicode_equivalence. We could entirely leave it to the dict server to perform matching in the "canonical domain".

"reach" in eng-deu translates incorrectly to "reich"

Anonymous — Wed, 22 Feb 2012 10:23:49 -0000

"reach" in eng-deu translates incorrectly to "reich"; "reach" could be sometimes "Reichweite" or "(er)reichen". "reich" means "rich", AFAIK

fix the absolute paths in symlinks

(noticed by Michael)
The symlinks in most of the source currently use absolute paths, which I am very embarrassed about and will fix.

eng-pol, letter "C" incomplete

Piotr Banski — Fri, 27 May 2011 17:24:46 -0000

(thanks to Marcin Miłkowski for the info)

Letter C in eng-pol is incomplete, the last headword is "copyright" -- see

http://freedict.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/freedict/trunk/eng-pol/letters/c.xml?revision=864&view=markup

(see HEAD for possible changes since this note:

http://freedict.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/freedict/trunk/eng-pol/letters/c.xml?revision=1130&view=markup )

The really bad news is that this is not a conversion bug: "copyright" is the last headword in the original TeX.

spaces missing between multiple s

Noting here a report made off-list by Daniel Lublin, in order to give the proper credit and leave a trace of this issue.

Daniel writes:
"(...)
Anyhow, I have found some problems with several of the updated dictionaries,
which I do use from time to time. Typically, semicolons or commas seem to have
disappeared from word definition in some dictionaries, leaving long strings of
words squeezed together.

Examples are below. It goes on for english-lithuanian, and others as well.

Is it perhaps so that I am just a too early user of these newly generated
files?

regards
Daniel

Many thanks for this report, this is fortunately due to the conversion to DICT not catching up with the site-wide upgrade to TEI P5. Will address that presently.

does not say where to report dictionary errors

Anonymous — Fri, 29 Aug 2008 06:22:59 -0000

There are tools that display the freedict results alongside other results, for example eng-something alongside WordNet. Sometimes the freedict translation and the WordNet explanation seem quite different.

Your site says that help improving the databases is welcome, however it does not say where such discrepancies sould be reported or how you imagine the databases improving otherwise.
