<P>Dear all, I wonder if anyone is aware of a dictionary software (free or
commercial) which allows you to maintain parallel forms / orthographic
principles throughout your database, and to choose which version to output for a
particular audience. <BR><BR>I am working on a dictionary of Kuot
(non-Austronesian, Papua New Guinea) and I want to produce a linguists' version
and a speakers' version. My Toolbox database is in linguist format (phonemic
transcription etc), but for the speakers, a different orthography is needed and
many forms need to be inflected to be recognized. The differences need to be
consistently reflected not only in head words, but in cross-references,
examples, words cited in definitions of other words (x is a part of *y*) etc.
<BR><BR>I see no way of generating one from the other in post-processing, even
with programmers' help, so the only way seems to be to manually maintain dual
versions of everything in the main database. Trying to maintain two parallel
databases does not seem like a viable option.<BR><BR>Further, I want the
speakers' version organised by semantics (thesaurus) rather than alphabetically,
so the software would preferably have support for this. <BR><BR>I also want to
include many illustrations (and so far, Toolbox and LexiquePro seem to place
these away from the word they relate to).<BR><BR>The linguists' version would be
bilingual (Kuot-English); the speakers' version trilingual (Kuot-Tok
Pisin-English), with Tok Pisin as the main language (in labels for
cross-references etc).<BR><BR>Further, my current database is full of
fields/tags for myself (CheckX, CheckY, Fix, AN-Loan? etc) and my work process
is somewhat dependent on being able sort for these too (easy in Toolbox, but in
LexiquePro I don't seem able to find them even by database search, much less
browse by them).<BR><BR>Any tips will be greatly
appreciated!<BR><BR>Regards,<BR><BR>Eva Lindström<BR><BR></P></DIV><!-- end group email --></DIV></DIV></DIV>
