Short: Multilingual translator/speech library Author: franc@trace-plc.com (Francesco Devitt) Uploader: franc@trace-plc.com (Francesco Devitt) Version: 42.4 Type: dev/src TITLE Source for Translator Library (Multilingual-speech version) VERSION 42.4 AUTHOR Francesco Devitt DESCRIPTION New features: o Recursive rules: right hand sides can be re-translated o WWW: http://www.sans.vuw.ac.nz/~ffranc/amiga/translator.html o Still more languages are supported. Features: o Replaces Commodore's translator.library o Provides multi-lingual text-to-speech support o Works with all OS versions o Allows language to be specified in the text to be translated o Totally compatible with existing software. With versions of the OS before 2.1 Commodore supplied text-to-speech software on the Workbench discs. This library replaces the Commodore supplied translator library. The origional translates text to phonemes for use with the narrator device. It is used in software with speech output such as "Say" and "Term". Unfortunately for non-American users the origional library translates all text as if it were American English. It can not handle other languages or dialects. This library is a drop-in replacement and works with all software that currently uses the Commodore speech system. With this version of translator library the user can specify which language the translator should use. The following accents are currently supported by this library: Name Language ---- -------- American American English Deutsch German Cymraeg Welsh English British English Island Icelandic Italiano Italian Klingon Klingon Maori New Zealand Maori Polski Polish Suomi Finnish Svenska Swedish If your language is not present here, remember that it is not difficult to write translation files for languages, as you can see by looking at the above list. I only wrote a few of these. I hope that users of this system will be motivated to create accent description files for the language(s) they speak.
