I would be grateful if someone can help me.
Is there a way to use russian to english translation. (word per word, not sentences)
I've heard and tried google translate API, however I need the program to work with large amounts of words and not be tied to Internet connection. Maybe, some standalone dictionary.
I've found this dictionary : http://sdict.com/en/view.php?file=rus_eng_full2.dct and tried to apply dictconv linux utility to convert to plaintext, so I can use it, but it crashes and compiling it from source doesn't work.
Maybe, someone knows a way to read .dct format and have an open source solution for it or link to it. I haven't found.
If there's a reliable Internet based solution, I would also like to hear about it.
Thank you, world, in advance.
If you are okay using python download sdictviewer-lib from here
https://github.com/jmhobbs/sdictviewer-lib
And use following script to read
import sdictviewer.formats.dct.sdict as sdict
import sdictviewer.dictutil
dictionary = sdict.SDictionary( 'rus-eng.dct' )
dictionary.load()
dictionary.get_word_list_iter('russianword')

I'm on a wild goose chase and I hope someone here can help me. Someone at my institution had an old database program on mac that I believe was called "Panorama". They exported a file from that as .txt quite a few years ago and recently tried to import it into the latest "PanoramaX" program I guess (I'm getting some of this secondhand) and weren't able to do it. Also, I'm a pc guy and would be totally lost on mac. So being the data nerd they turned to me to see if I could salvage their data. I tend to use R to import other file sources and every option I've tried here didn't work: (though I'm sure I missed an option maybe)
I can't share the file because it has personally identifying info, but a screenshot of what it looks like in notepad may help:
Does anyone have any experience with these files? Or can tell what the delimiters are etc... so I could open it?
INTRO:
I'm in a situation because when uploading an inventory upload feed to Amazon, in 2021, they still don't understand UTF-8 encoding.
Here we have a file, in a wordpress installation, as the image for a visual product.
Example url : https://wordpresssite.com/uploads/Café-à-la-crème.jpg
Wordpress displays it fine.
Amazon reads a bunch of gibberish and can't find the file and gives an error.
Can we leave the file name on the source server as is and yet do something in cPanel or in
the excel file that lists this URL in a way that Amazon can also read it?
Is this ultimately as simple as telling Excel to encode that column differently before uploading?
Thank you in advance!
UPDATE : What I am trying now, is to export the Excel to CSV and then run it through line by line using PHP with a combination of tricks hoping to do a passable job of it. From what I see, there are many ways that "sorta" work, but nothing is sure.
UPDATE 2 : I realize that this doesn't solve my problem, because if Amazon changes the file name, changing an "é" to an "e", then it won't find the image either, so I'll have to go through all the images and find the ones with accents that I'm using.
QUESTION ABOUT PROCEDURE : I haven't been able to quite understand the way things work. I thought originally that this is about trying to get help when stuck. I have explained the problem and code isn't necessary. If I'm wrong, please tell me how it changes THIS situation? I'm using Excel, WordPress and I have to lose the UTF-8 accented characters that seem to cause Amazon's systems such grief (no judgement to Amazon, except that this resistance to UTF-8 is giving me brain shudders at the moment).
MORE INFO: If this helps, I'm writing in English but certain art products have a lot of French and some German in their names. I thought my example sufficient to illustrate what I was up against.
My problem is not how to convert the code but how to put the steps together to do what I need. It's because this whole process is not a simple iconv vs utf_decode() in php that it's extra stressful. Once I get the big picture sorted, the smaller steps are written about in many places where I could find more specifc details if I needed.
I'm not snarking here, but it seems that this kind of comment is just kicking someone when they are down. You are not the first to make such a suggestion over the years but again, I am curious how I could have explained any more than I have already — in a way that pertains to my actual problem.
Thanks for your response.
That URI is not properly encoded as per RFC 3986 (see also Wikipedia: percent/URL encoding). You cannot expect a server to blindly assume a requested URI to be UTF-8 encoded, but you can expect every server to support percent encoding:
https://wordpresssite.com/uploads/Caf%C3%A9-%C3%A0-la-cr%C3%A8me.jpg
In PHP this can be achieved thru rawurlencode(); in JavaScript it would be encodeURI().
Not sure what you want with Excel and CSV, but from what I understood it is unrelated to your actual problem.
I'm looking for a way to include a full blown English dictionary in an iPhone app (a word game), the database must be able to include all conjugation possibilities for verbs, must include singular and plural spellings. So my app can query the database to check if the spelling is correct.
Is there a free or commercial database that would include those data?
You can use UITextChecker for spell-checking.
Regarding a dictionary, when I built an iOS dictionary library sometime ago (www.lexicontext.com) I used WordNet. WordNet contains a lot of interesting semantic info ...
NSSpellChecker is your easiest option, but it might be more complete to use the online Scrabble official dictionary as well and check it against both (only one match required.)
You could do a web-service request using http://www.hasbro.com/scrabble/en_US/search.cfm
http://www.a2zwordfinder.com/cgi-bin/scrabble.cgi?Letters=&Pattern=______&MatchType=Exactly&MinLetters=3&SortBy=Alpha&SearchType=Scrabble
Change min letters to get different results
The best place to find a database for a spell-checker is probably a free text processing application. So, I'd try with Open Office version of Word. Download it, install it and simply find the dictionary file.
Open Office is licensed under LGPL, so it should be fine, just check if the licence covers the data as well (i.e. the dictionary file).
Maybe this English corpus helps: http://www.wordfrequency.info/free.asp
I thought this was asked before, but 15 minutes of searching on Google and the site search didn't turn anything up...so:
Where can I obtain free (as in beer and/or as in speech) dictionary files? I'm mainly interested in English, but if you know of any dictionary files, please point them out.
Note: This question doesn't have a right/wrong answer, so I made it community-wiki. However, I feel that it might be valuable to not only myself, but anyone who wishes to implement or use a spell checker with various dictionary files.
I have found a SourceForge project called Word List, which appears to have a number of dictionaries. I have downloaded a couple and am currently checking them out.
On Linux you can look in places like /usr/share/dict/words
I would presume that OpenOffice contains dictionaries for several languages.
I don't know what your target platform is but here is a solution that is for VB.NET. It uses the Office libraries which Office in itself isn't free but if your users are all internal and have Office then you could leverage these libs. There is a zip file with the example source code you can download as well.
Check spelling and grammar
There is what appears to be a half-decent dictionary available for free here on CodeProject.com (registration required unfortunately).
I have been given a set of COBOL DAT, IDX and KEY files and I need to read the data in them and export it into Access, XLS, CSV, etc. I do not know the version, vendor of the COBOL code as I only have the windows executable that created the files.
I have tried Easysoft and Parkway ODBC drivers but I have not been successful in reading the data from the files.
I do not have access to the source code as the company that was distributing this product shut down.
I have successfully read some of the dat files using http://www.cobolproducts.com/datafile just now which I came to know through another forum. Most probably I will work with them to help me read the rest of the files that I am having an issue with.
A few possibilities.
1/ See if you can find the names of the people that worked for the company. They may be helpful.
2/ Open the DAT file in a text editor. The data may be decodable from that. If the basic format can be discerned, quick'n'dirty code can be written to extract it.
3/ Open up the executable in an editor, there may be strings in there that indicate which compiler was used, then you can search for info on its file formats. If it's a DOS application, there's a good chance it was either Microsoft or Fujitsu COBOL.
4/ Consider placing job requests on work sites like elance or rentacoder; I don't think there's a cost if the work can't be done successfully.
5/ Hire someone to examine it and advise on the likelihood of recovery.
6/ Get a screen dump of the record contents for every active record and re-construct it from that.
Some of these are pretty hard so your mileage may vary.
Good luck.
I have read COBOL DAT files only with FD, when I do not have the FD, I open the file in a Text Editor, and try to guess the columns, and try again, until I have this working, the big problem with this approach is when the DAT file have COMP columns, that can be any kind of COMP type, but with a litthe patience I cold get this done.
I had tryed Parkway ODBC, but without success.
for anyone going through this journey, I found this in sourceforge: Cobol and RPG data reader and converter
http://sourceforge.net/projects/cobol2j/
Im about to try it, sounds kind of promising
