[mary-dev] [mary-div] Adding new language support - Little help in running the feature marker program

[Pubudu Tharaka]

Hi,

I'm trying to add Sinhala language support to MaryTTS. Instead of
extracting words from Wikipedia I took most frequent distinct words from a
local text corpus. And created a mysql table as it is shown in the guide
lines 2.2 having 3 columns id, word, frequency and put the words into the
database. Then I ran the Transcription tool and created the letter to sound
rule. Now I have successfully built and tested MaryTTS with Sinhala
support. The next thing I have to do is Running feature maker with the
minimal nlp components. According to the guide lines to do so I have to run
the  "wkdb_featuremaker.sh". To run that script it requests a config file
as a command line argument. The config file is identified as "wkdb config
file". As I skipped the Wikipedia process I think I have missed this config
file. Is there any possibility that I can create this config file manually.
If possible can someone please give me a sample file so that I can modify
it to Sinhala language.

Thank you.

Regards,
Tharaka.
