Usage

Overview

This utility will convert the Buckwalter transliterated lexicon data set to UTF-8 or CP1256 encoded comma separated values (csv file). The default encoding is set to the UTF-8 (as it should always be!). It should be noted that the Windows CP-1256 encoding is often insufficient to convert some of the transliterations. It is therefore advised to only use UTF-8 encoding.

The CSV file outputted can be opened by Excel or any other spreadsheet program (and should be importable by most if not all database programs with little to no modification).

This is part of Duali.
