| Resolved | HaraldBerthelsen | T148535 Development of lexicon using tools (Arabic) |
There is no Arabic lexicon at the moment, because it works instead by vocalising the input text.
At some point we need to have at least lexicon for exceptions, foreign words, names, etc.
Maybe this is a good time to do that.
There is now a TEST version of an Arabic lexicon, to be used for foreign names and the like.
It only contains four entries at the moment, so not much real use, but it means that it is now possible to add words to the lexicon to improve pronunciation of a wikipedia article.
TODO:
Some phonetic symbols are questionable, some of them are perhaps not needed or used.
Mapping to ipa in symbol-set file.
If needed: mapping to the symbolset used in marytts.
