What can be done to bring back L'Översteir?

[Iac Marscheir]

The Translator is actually my main tool for creating Talossan language texts. I can't do anything without it because I don't know all the vocabulary.

So how can we fix it? Is there anything I can do to help?

[Lüc da Schir]

I told Miestrâ I could work on a new Oversteir, but that I couldn't begin anytime soon.

Bradley Higgs then began working on repairing the current Oversteir to work on talossa.com. No idea about how he's doing.

Regardless, I'm still down to work on a new, better version from scratch, but I'm still going to have to give priority to other extraTalossan stuff for the next two weeks or so.

[Magniloqueu Épiqeu da Lhiun]

I am currently cataloguing all vocabulary from the 1997 Treisour for a scientific project about Talossan etymology and etymophonology. Maybe my work and findings will be useful to a new Översteir. However, I just started two days ago, and I am still at ‹A›, so it may take some time – like maybe a decade.

[Lüc da Schir]

If you need the most recent Treisour, it's still up there, and the files are in share.talossa.com/Oversteir.zip.

[Danihel Txechescu]

Thanks for sharing the code. I can see why we need to build a new version of it and the size of the effort.

I have managed to get it online here for now: oversteir.sunokaj3.com/

[Lüc da Schir]

Great job, Danihel!

[Iac Marscheir]

Aha! C'e fäntästic! Muitas graschias à tu, Danihel!

[Iac Marscheir]

Mas... nútemp? C'e pouçival, qe l'Översteir non povadra restarh là?

(But... for now? It's possible that l'Översteir can't stay there?)

[Marcel Eðo Pairescu Tafial]

Is there a way to access the old spellings on the new temporary site?

Will be there for as long as we need it.

"The new temporary site" is this temporary översteir? If so, which old spellings? I noticed there were 2 (well, 3) different "treisour.txt" files. The one currently in use is "treisour.ns.txt"; the other one is "treisour.2014.txt". You can find those files in the zip package that Lüc shared. If you guys need me to change that, that can be arranged.

Nonono, there's already a way in the HTML to make the old and new spellings available

In the code, there's a commented out section. Just go into the code, search for "using" and delete the "<!--" "--> around it and the tags immediately below it.
 That'll bring up a little selector that'll let you choose which spellings to include in the results. In fact, it may be an idea to simply update the code so that isn't commented out.

[Iac Marscheir]

Small problem: it's translating the third person singular form of "façarh" as "faäts". I haven't found any other similar errors, but I don't know for certain if that's at all ubiquitous.

Danihel Txechescu Just as a reminder:

Thanks for the reminder. I don't know if the changes I've applied are correct, but a new field appears there. Please test and let me know if anything else is needed.

Ah this is perfect! Thank you so much!
