Translation Sandbox
An interactive translation and annotation workbench with two modes.
Navigate: click Translation Sandbox in the sidebar.
Gloss-Tag Inflection Mode
Input text in gloss-TAG1-TAG2 format (e.g., star-PL shine-PAST in void):
- Looks up each gloss in the lexicon
- Auto-applies inflection rules by tag
- Generates IPA
- Outputs an interlinear table (conlang form / gloss tags / IPA)
Step-by-step
- Enter a tagged string like
star-PL shine-PAST. - Run translation.
- Inspect generated forms and tags.
- If output is wrong, adjust lexicon gloss or grammar rules.
Syntax Reordering Mode
- Add tokens with syntactic roles (S / V / O / Mod / Adp / Other)
- Auto-reorders by your grammar's word order setting
- Auto-infers inflection tags (e.g., S → NOM, O → ACC)
- Applies inflection and outputs the interlinear table
Step-by-step
- Add tokens with roles (S/V/O/Mod).
- Run reorder.
- Check whether word order matches syntax settings.
- Verify case/tense tags are inferred correctly.
Word Form Helper
Input a test word + select POS + select dimension values → instant preview of inflected form and IPA.
Advanced example: regression check after grammar edit
- Prepare 10 frequently used stems.
- Run Word Form Helper for each stem.
- Compare with previous expected forms.
- Fix rule ordering if regressions appear.
