Creating & editing lexicons

Actions for creating and editing lexicons are available in the Lexicon Actions drop-down menu. The actions always apply to the lexicon that is selected in the lexicons list and visible in the table. The actions will be discussed below.

Figure 354. The Lexicon Actions


[Note]Note

There is currently no Undo/Redo mechanism for lexicon edit actions!

[Note]Note

If multiple transcription windows are open, using the same lexicon, modifying the lexicon should preferably be done in only one window. On Windows there is no guarantee that all windows are updated correctly after a change in a lexicon made in a different window!

[Note]Note

More documentation about the structure of lexical entries, about which fields are required, what is hard-coded etc. will follow. The same for native, import and export formats etc.
