Language properties

This is the first screen that you'll see when you open PolyGlot.

Here you'll find the description of your conlang as well as some options of how the app behaves.

Properties

• Language name
  The name of your conlang.

• Local language
  The natural language that you'll be using while writing your dictionary and rules.

• Author / Copyright info
  The information that you'd like to include about yourself when sharing your conlang.

Settings

These control how PolyGlot validates your conlang and how it behaves.
Here's the description of each setting if you set it.
Most of these come in place in the lexicon.

• Part of speech mandatory
  Words in the lexicon must have a part of speech selected.

• Local uniqueness
  Words in the lexicon must not have the same text for "Local language word".

• Word uniqueness
  Words in the lexicon must not be repeated (i.e. no homonyms).

• Ignore case
  Features of PolyGlot will not differentiate between lower and upper case letters.

• Disable Orthographic regex
  Disables regex functionaliy in phonology. (Phonology is not yet implemented)

• Enforce RTL

• Local mandatory

  Fields that accept a regex will use the local language font instead of the conlang font.
  (Only noticable if you import a language with a conlang font from desktop)
