Differences in MOR output using macOS and Linux

Thu Jan 23 21:22:36 UTC 2025

Hi Leandro,

	I am still trying to figure out why Mac/Windows and Unix outputs are different. I noticed that on Mac/Windows words with accents like "móntale" and striped of accents and are converted to stem "monta". The word "móntale" is not in the lexicon, so striping accents occurs before the word is looked up in the lexicon list. On Unix the accents are not striped, so MOR can't find "móntale" word anywhere in the Spanish lexicon. I did not create Spanish grammar, so it takes a long time for me to figure out where the conversion occurs.

Is this the difference in Windows and Linux you are noticing? Or can you give me an example of the difference in outputs that you are referring to in your email?

I just wanted to let you know that I am still working on this.

Leonid.

For your two examples, I think that the Mac version is better.  So, I would recommend either relying on that or else running PREPOST on Linux also.
