L2 MULTILINGUALS

ENeL • Bled 20140930 8

Extract list of Translations of any language (L2) with their corresponding English (EN) Entries & POS

Edit the L2 Translations into L2 Headwords, keeping the default EN links

Revise the links from the new Headword & POS to the relevant sense of the EN Entry

Each sense of the L2 Headword now addresses its counterpart sense(s) in the EN Entries, and through it translation equivalents in all other languages

[Expand the lexical data of the L2 Headword and turn it into a full Entry]

PROCESS

ENeL • Bled 20140930 9

Generating an L2-English Index automatically― produce L2 Index table― produce EN Senses table

Editing the L2 Index― include/exclude HW in L2 Index― revise the L2 HW and POS― add new L2 HW― revise the Senses – add, remove, re-order

Translating multilingually― link L2 HW via EN Sense to all the translations
