How/where are reversal index names set?

[kevin_...@sil.org]

Where do the language names that appear in this dropdown list come from?

 

 

I thought they would come from the Analysis Writing System Properties dialog box, but what is displayed there is what the owner of this project wants as the options in the Reversal Indexes view.

 

 

How can he/I change the name of the Reversal Index from “Kiswahili” to “Swahili”?

 

Thanks,

Kevin

Kevin,

You can click on the Configure Reversal Index menu, then click the Manage Views button. From that dialog (Manage Reversal Index Views) you can actually rename the indexes by typing F2, or clicking on the name. (It is not obvious that you can do this here.)



Craig.

Thank you for this timely Q&A. I just changed two of the language names for reversals following Craig's instructions. I'm hoping now this will be reflected in Webonary too...

I think the name that shows on Webonary is managed on that site. I don't think it takes it from the FLEx project, but you could upload to Webonary and see.
