It is this kind of commitment and determination that we need much more of. Once we have the 'jadawil' or tables of forms/derivatives, we can proceed with a lot of acceleration. For one, it would be a lot more possible to autogenerate a dictionary with that information in hand. Also, keep in mind that I would like to have the application side (or at the very least the API) completed by then. Not necessarily the data (dictionary). We can probably release something with a less than complete dictionary (you can always add to the dictioanry as time goes by). As far as your question about the alef and the hamza's.. what I will be doing (which may not be the best thing to do, but is certainly the easiest) is normalize the text. Please refer to this post on the 'developer' list: http://www.arabeyes.org/archives/developer/2002/November/msg00068.html The problem with this, is that the spellchecker will not be able to tell the difference between ALEF's and so will not be able to detect problems there. But that can be added at a later time, and is not my primary concern at the moment. Again, thank you very very much for your work. I really like it, and think we are heading toward the right direction. With that being said, how long do you think it would take to get a full list of all the forms (as in the first link above)? Thank you. -- ------------------------------------------------------- | Mohammed Elzubeir | Visit us at: | | | http://www.arabeyes.org/ | | Arabeyes Project | Homepage: | | Unix the 'right' way | http://fakkir.net/~elzubeir/| ------------------------------------------------------- --- Was I helpful?
