[16:44:08] *** Joins: Gandhie (2eef661f@gateway/web/freenode/ip.46.239.102.31) [16:45:58] Hi there! Have just started properly working on my mini resource grammar for the Computational Syntax course on the MLT programme. The language I am looking at is Japanese and I seem to have some issues with encoding... [16:46:36] Does anyone know which encoding I should use and how I can set it up? I've tried using the "se" command in the gf.exe program but no luck thus far. [16:47:58] hello! [16:48:10] UTF-8 should be the default nowadays I think [16:48:21] you're using GF on windows? [16:49:35] I am, yes. The error I got was "a : commitBuffer: invalid argument (invalid character)", so I just assumed it was due to the kana. [16:49:41] I wrote some instruction 5 years ago for windows 7, so take it with a grain of salt :-D http://www.grammaticalframework.org/~inari/gf-windows.html#toc4 but you can see if anything under the heading Invalid characters is helpful [16:50:11] are you using the standard windows command prompt or something else? [16:50:28] like powershell or the one you get from git are better with some things, if I remember correctly [16:50:54] (also 5 years old knowledge, so :-P) [16:51:19] I'm currently using the gf.exe actually, from the folder I downloaded. I had some issues with the command line at first (which I managed to fix later on) so I just haven't switched back. But perhaps I should try that first. [16:51:27] okay [16:51:38] I suppose for the sake of the exercise, you can always use romaji [16:52:03] the point is computational syntax, not computational fighting-with-encodings [16:52:18] and we've got a japanese grammar in the RGL already [16:52:24] Yeah, I do have that as a backup plan. But I will look at your link and try with PowerShell and Git Bash first before I go down that road. [16:52:43] We'll see how it goes. :) [16:52:48] good luck! [16:52:52] Thank you! [16:56:22] this might be interesting too http://school.grammaticalframework.org/2013/slides/elizaveta-zimina.pdf [16:56:30] on japanese+GF, not encodings [18:40:54] omg the DG site is so fancy nowadays [18:41:03] http://www.digitalgrammars.com/ click on the globe and the lightbulb [18:41:06] and then the nodes on the tree [18:41:08] sooo fancy [19:23:54] they should use muste to show menus to replace the words [19:34:04] *** Quits: Gandhie (2eef661f@gateway/web/freenode/ip.46.239.102.31) (Ping timeout: 260 seconds)
