Multilanguage eBook

varlog · 10-11-2016, 06:36 PM

I have written a multilanguage e-book (for test purposes). It is short and not very well designed and it is rubbish - and stays so. It has a lot of spelling errors - which are intended.
Please advice me on getting it more vicious - more unpredictable.

varlog · 10-18-2016, 06:15 PM

OK then, it is vicious enough. Thank you.

I'm not sure what you mean by vicious...

varlog · 10-19-2016, 02:01 PM

Oh well... vicious, in this case, means using legitimate epub constructs - such as structure of the book or tags or tags nesting or ...? - to obscure the current text language.

I'm afraid I still don't understand what it is you're asking. That's probably why nobody's replied.

Perhaps it would be clearer if you looked at the source of my book, "start.html" especially.
To understand what I'm asking for one has to know the specifics of epub underlying html source. It is a matter for somebody, who is making epubs, not writing or reading them, and likes to play with html code.

varlog forgot to mention that he's working on multi-language spell check support for Sigil. In order to test this feature, he needs a test book with as many writing system examples as possible, including deliberately misspelled words, incorrectly tagged language codes, nesting errors etc.

Thank you. Now I understand

. It was the word "vicious" which was confusing.

None of those, please: the book should be formally correct, just (viciously) difficult to parse.
But yes, thanks for putting it in plain English

If you're still looking for interesting example sentences, check out the following:

1. UTF-8 SAMPLER

2. Twain, Mark & Warner, C.D.: The Gilded Age (each chapter starts with an exotic language quote in the original alphabet)

UTF-8 SAMPLER is a nice one

. The Twain would be a nice sample, too - if only the languages were properly taged

.
Thanks.

Are there any free multianguage books with properly used language attribute?
