Dictionary Description
A dictionary, for purposes of this Bible
Translator, is a simple text file containing
rows of text. Each row contains an original
word (or phrase), followed by a tab, followed
by a new word (or phrase). There should be
nothing beside this in the dictionary.
Example
(Note: "<TAB>" is symbolic of
the tab key on your keyboard.)
oldword <TAB> newword
oldword <TAB> newword
oldword <TAB> newword
oldword <TAB> newword
oldword <TAB> newword
oldword <TAB> newword
oldword <TAB> newword
oldword <TAB> newword
It may also contain:
an old phrase <TAB> a new phrase
an old phrase <TAB> a new phrase
an old phrase <TAB> a new phrase
an old phrase <TAB> a new phrase
an old phrase <TAB> a new phrase
That's all there is to it. You can create
a dictionary using a word processor or
spreadsheet program. [A spreadsheet program,
such as Excel, is helpful because you can put
the original word (or phrase) in column A
and the new word (or phrase) in column B.
When you save an Excel spreadsheet as a
simple text file it automatically inserts the
tab.]
Remember, though, the dictionary must be
saved as a simple
text file.
