Harvesting words and their glosses for making a dictionary from Interlinearizer

Question

The Paratext interlinearizer is a source for vernacular words and their glosses that can be used to begin making a dictionary. Kent Schroeder has written a utility for extracting words and their glosses from the xml file where the Interlinearizer stores its information. The resulting file is in Standard Format (USFM) and can be imported into a Fieldworks database. http://fieldworks.sil.org/

The installer for the utility is called ParatextLexiconSetup.exe and can be found at:

Answer 1

For what it’s worth I wrote a tool that does a live XSL transform of the interlinear data presenting it as a searchable web page. It is written in python and XSL and so can run happily on windows, linux or mac, which was important to me. The installation user experience is not yet what I would like, but I haven’t been able to prioritise that. This tool is more aimed at live searches, and simple extraction (via copy and paste of the HTML table) compared to the more comprehensive tool above.
