Hello,

I've uploaded new data to Webonary, which went well, but on the link https://www.webonary.org/mbelime/ in the box where you can "Search" there now appears "Anglais" or "English" as a potential search language in the drop down menu. I do have some English language data in FLEx, but I unchecked "English" in "Set up Analysis Writing Systems...", since I don't want to appear it on Webonary. I also unchecked "English" in the "Upload to Webonary" dialogue (Reversals).

I've deleted all data (with "Use cloud backend" checked) on Webonary and re-uploaded the dictionary through FLEx but the problem persists.

I figured out that Webonary now takes language names from FLEx. I noticed that the language name "Mbelime" appeared in the drop drop down menu and under "Number of Entries:" on the Webonary dictionary, which is the English name of the language. I then changed  FLEx "Set up Vernacular Writing Systems...", to Mbèlimè, the French spelling. Now "Mbèlimè" appears in the drop down menu on both the English and French versions of the site. It seems Webonary can't make a difference yet between French and English spelling of vernacular language names, though it works for English and French.

Thanks,

Johannes

Hello Johannes,

We'll take a look at how to remove English (or other languages) from the dropdown list.

Thanks,

Peter
