Specifically, FLEx imports <a href="http://code.google.com/p/lift-standard/">LIFT xml</a> (Lexical Interchange FormaT). Depending on your format, that could be as easy as a series of find/replace operations in some text editor.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Now, back to the interlinear text issue… as Beth said, the ELAN—>FLEx feature is only in the alpha version of SayMore (as are the transcription and oral annotation features). If you’d like to be a tester for that, let me know. FLEx can currently only import two lines: the base line and the free translation. That’s fine if your using SayMore or ELAN to just do transcription and translation, but if you’ve glossed words, for example, it can’t currently import those glosses. As Beth said, the FLEx team would appreciate hearing of your needs.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>John Hatton<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>SIL International Language Software Development, <a href="http://palaso.org/">PALASO</a>, and <a href="http://pnglanguages.org/">SIL Papua New Guinea</a><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText>-----Original Message-----<br>From: r-n-l-d@unimelb.edu.au [mailto:r-n-l-d@unimelb.edu.au] On Behalf Of Jeff Siegel<br>Sent: Tuesday, October 11, 2011 4:06 AM<br>To: r-n-l-d@unimelb.edu.au<br>Subject: Questions about importing into FLEx</p><p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText>Dear Colleagues,<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText>I'm a newcomer FLEx and was wondering if anyone can answer these basic questions:<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText>1) What is the method of importing transcribed texts from Elan into FLEx?<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText>2) Is there a way to import a vocabulary list in XML into FLEx?<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText>Many thanks,<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText>Jeff Siegel<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p></div></body></html>
