What is the significance of the -nophon part of the filename in some dictionaries?

0

la1-la2-nophon.tei files are created as a temporary step during the make process of dictionaries, for whose headword languages (la1) FreeDict supports phonetics, because data is available. The process is: 1. convert dictionary data into la1-la2-nophon.tei 2. add phonetics info and create la1-la2.tei. Practically, this means that renaming la1-la2.tei to la1-la2-nophon.tei is our internal kludge to avoid the phase where the dictionary is processed by a text-to-speech system that adds phonetic information (in elements). In most cases, you needn’t worry about this 🙂 But if you are concerned with switching phonetic processing off for your dictionary, put the line supported_phonetics= into the Makefile, right below the line defining DISTFILES.
