Two tsv files will be created in the /data/{LANG} directory
- translated.json - list of unique non-english words
- en-untranslated.tsv - list of english words that could not be translated
Build
Build compiles all .tsv files in /data/{LANG} directory into one single file
it will start with
- translated.tsv
and then go through every other .tsv file in that diretory and merge the lists. If a word exists in several files the weight will be overwritten with the weight of the last occurrance of the word.
Example:
# Merge all .tsv files into one
php build.php noThe compiled files can be found in /data/{lang}/build/{lang}.tsv

Example:
# Watch for changes in .tsv and recompile
php watch.php no
