Solresol Translator Roadmap

This is the rough development roadmap of my Solresol translator, listed in likely chronological order. Each update is preceded by a number based on how long I think the feature will take to implement (1 = very short time, 10 = very long time). Faded text indicates that the feature has been implemented.

• Initial - Dictionary translation (translate each word individually; no gender, tense, plurality, or punctuation recognition)
• 3 - Handling of punctuation (ignoring punctuation between words, but keeping it if it's part of a word)
• 2 - "Full" Solresol ↔ Abbreviated Solresol
• 2 - "Full" Solresol ↔ Number Solresol
• 6 - Automatic input detection (no need to select "From")
• 2 - "Full" Solresol ↔ Color Solresol
• 4 - "Full" Solresol ↔ Music Note Solresol
• 7 - "Full" Solresol ↔ Glyph Solresol
• 5 - Friendly URLs to link to a particular translation
• 4 - Handling of numbers
• 2 - French ↔ Solresol translation (same details as English translation apply)
• 6 - Gajewski translations (just for completeness, since there are many conflicts with Sudre's definitions)
• 3 - Gender recognition [accents in non-"full" forms may not be shown due to lack of implementation details]
• 8 - Tense recognition [tenses will take a while due to varied tense forms in English]
• 8 - Plurality recognition [plurality will also take a while due to varied plural forms in English; accents in non-"full" forms may not be shown due to lack of implementation details]
• 10 - "Intelligent" translation (attempt to parse and translate full sentences instead of individual words) [Not possible until Solresol is more developed]

Known Issues

• Forgot to add the 5-syllable words. I'll do that next database update.
• Fixed! Translator says "translation not found" for every word if the "from" and "to" languages are the same.
• Fixed! If you put extra spaces around a word, it spits out 3 random(?) definitions for each space.
