Dear fellow conlangers.
Half a year ago I started developing a language for the first time. As it grew more and more complex I was desperately searching for a workflow which would let me easily keep track of all the words with all their attributes, maybe even add images and handwriting. I struggled with the boundaries of excel at the time (despite of excel being a superb programm for keeping track of information).
So I decided to develop my own tool, which does exactly what I need. It took me half a year to teach myself python and I got a bit lost with gui-development, but I finally have somthing to show for.
The LANGUAGE CONSTRUCTION TOOL v0.8.1
- Adding, Editing and deleting Words from and to a database
- Batch importing and exporting from and to csv/xls/txt
- Adding Images to all words
- Generating Words and exporting them
- Compare words with multiple undockable treeviews
- Analyse texts and import their essential vocabulary
- Import essential words from the web

The idea was, to make a tool which is universally aplicable and to keep the production pipeline slim. It basically just functions as SQL-Interface, so you could also access the data from any given webservice if you modify the application a bit.
In hindsight, I would not choose python again for the gui because it is such a high level language, that it feels kinda slow and heavy. But it has some really great nlp-modules.
I would really love your Feedback!
Cheers
Fabian

Re: Language Construction Tool v0.8.1
It seems to not have the most important feature: conscripts/custom font.

Oh nice!
Not many folks have the drive to do that sorta thing. Congrats on making this tool. Im going to check it out more tomorrow. Thanks for sharing.
