[libreoffice-users] Re: Creating a dictionary with libreoffice from a simple TXT-file

Hi Brian,

as you say, I will need to use base and I already started reading the docs
and experimenting with the form creation.

But I would also like to report on my progress.
I took all the files containing German-Greek terms and pasted them in a
single text-file, then using the linux editor pluma for various corrections
(I am more comfortable there) I prepared it for the final phase, which of
course was applying your instructions.
Finally I opened the file in calc and manually corrected the entries where
the German term had 2 or more words. Fortunately they weren't too many. Then
I filtered all the duplicates.
The result is a perfect glossary for OmegaT with, believe it or 31.400
unique entries.

Now I started the same procedure for the Greek-German files but...
These files contain too many greek terms consisting of 2, 3, 4 and even 5
words. Too many to deal with manually.

What would you say? Is there any possible way to do the job with an
expression like the one you gave me?
Can you think of anything? Does it not help that they are greek characters
at the beginning of the line?
As far as I know in writer one can search for language, then perhaps also
for characters of a certain non latin language.
Combining this with an expression like the one before, it would probably
work.

I am not asking you to do the work for me, but I sincerely tried everything
I could and ready as much as possible and still could come up with anything.
I will not give up trying and reading, but since you obviously have much
more knowledge of the matter as well as experience, you could save me a lot
of time but also from possible errors in the resulting file.
