SALT2CHAT & Language Codes

[Mihaela Barokova]

Dear All, 

My collaborator and I are currently working with transcribed mother-child 
interactions collected from Bulgarian toddlers and preschoolers. All of our 
language samples are transcribed in Bulgarian (Cyrillic) in SALT, and we 
would like to convert them to the CHAT format to analyze with CLAN. Based 
on the *The CHAT Transcription Format *documentation, it appears that 
currently there is no language code for Bulgarian. We tried using the 
language code for Russian to convert our transcripts using the SALT2CHAT 
function, but it appears that not all symbols (Cyrillic letters) get 
recognized, and the conversion turns some of the letters into punctuation 
marks. Has anyone encountered this issue? Does anyone who has transcribed 
in Cyrillic and used the SALT2CHAT function have any advice?

Any advice is greatly appreciated!
Mihaela
