: software that processes [[twext method]] text |
|||
: software that gets text [[twext]] |
|||
basic functions for twexter may include |
|||
• FORMAT [[bifocal bitext]] in alignment |
|||

|||
• XCROLL two input windows; one control |
|||
• SLOP select language option menus |
|||
• ADDLANG add languages to interface |
|||
• PREFS let user personalize interface |
|||
=FORMAT= |
|||
simply, twexter formats [[twext method]] text |
|||
various format outputs are possible, including |
|||
formats acheiving [[bifocal bitext]] intent |
|||
c code might work http://twext.cc/dev/format |
|||
=EDIT= |
|||
editing twext may require two input windows |
|||
1. text input |
|||
2. twext input |
|||
==chunk interface== |

==XCROLL== |
|||
; XCROLL |
|||
: single scroll-bar controls two textinput windows |
|||
xcroll function mantains line-by-line alignment of |
|||
a. text input |
|||
b. twext input |
|||
enables easy edit of associated text/twext chunks: |
|||

XCROLL DOWN |
|||
xcroll tool placement between text/twext inputs |
|||
may make it easier to use |
|||
numbered lines may be useful future enhancement |
|||
===uses=== |
|||
manual alignment of text/twext input hurts.. |
|||
xcroll automatically aligns each line of text |
|||
with each associated line of twext, enabling: |
|||
====edit twext==== |
|||
xcroll makes it easier to edit text/twext input |
|||
with each chunk clearly associated, line by line |
|||
====edit wiki?==== |
|||
xcroll might also adapt to more easily edit wikis, |
|||
providing side-by-side preview and edit windows, |
|||
eliminating current need to |
|||
a. review preview |
|||
b. scroll down to edit window |
|||
c. scroll within edit window |
|||
d. scroll back up to preview |
|||
e. repeat recursively |
|||
f. preview, save |
|||
'''replace above a. b. c. d. e. f. with:''' |
|||
a. xcroll down while making fixes |
|||
b. preview, save |
|||
===DEMO=== |
|||
http://twext.cc/dev/xcroll/ links to a |
|||
current student demo using javascripts |
|||
1. beehive.js |
|||
2. dynscrollbar.js |
|||
demo may be buggy.. |
|||
solution should be robust |
|||
===similar tools?=== |
|||
=SLOP= |
|||
; SLOP |
|||
: select language option menu |
|||
slop select language option menus |
|||
let user select/identify languages combined |
|||
in [[bifocal bitext]] alignment |
|||
slop menus are specified in detail at |
|||
http://twext.cc/dev/index.html#SLOP |
|||
=ADDLANG= |
|||
; addlang |
|||
: add languages to [[wixi]] using xcroll interface |
|||
==purpose== |
|||
* enable multiple languages, dialects etc to [[twext|get twext]] |
|||
* enable hybrid languages to get twext (ie spanglish) |
|||
* enable "unofficial" slangs (ie cockney) to get twext |
|||
* provide simple method to add any language to system |
|||
==context== |
|||
wikis may already have translation interfaces |
|||
wixi might enable the full interface to appear |
|||
in [[bifocal bitext]], which may offer useful |
|||
familiar context for user learning new language |
|||
===simple=== |
|||
chunk interface may be useful for translation of: |
|||
1. required bare-bones interface words |
|||
2. simple guides in [[bifocal bitext|twext format]] |
|||
===addlang chunk interface=== |

=PREFS= |

; PREFS |
|||
: user preferences to control interface |
|||
==duh== |
|||
if 100's of languages, dialects, slangs [[twext|get twext]] |
|||
individual users may want to exclude most of 'em |
|||
==format== |
|||
individual users may also prefer to control |
|||
* variable visibility of [[twext|twext text]] |
|||
* [[mut]] views of grammar, pronunciation etc |
|||
* etc |
|||
==conclusion== |
|||
if [[wixi]] purpose is dialog to improve [[language methods]] |
|||
then [twexter] may be useful participant in the process |
|||
if programmers revive twexter software, we'll find out |
