This Wiki contains some useful informations to setup vocabulon.

1. Introduction

Vocabulon is a program to help you or your kids to learn other language. This program is configurable in his data files by setting the source language and the destination language.

2. Setup

2.1. Download the program espak from http://espeak.sourceforge.net/download.html

Rem

If you don't want to reconfigure the program, install it in the following directory C:\Program Files (x86)\eSpeak\command_line\ else, if you installed this program in other directory, CHANGE the file vocabulon.properties by setting the following keys : pathespeak For example : pathespeak=C:\whatever\eSpeak\command_line\espeak.exe ####Rem the "\" is inhérent to Windows, if you use Linux just use "/". I didn't test it under linux, but usually it has work too, because espeak is developed for Windows and Linux.

2.2 Unzip the file Vocabulon-0.0.1.zip where you want. As this program is small, I suggest

you to extract it directly on your desktop.

2.3 Run it, to run this program mostly users will have two choices:

####2.3.1 By command line: java -jar Vocabulon-0.0.1 or by running the included runme.cmd (dbl click on it and it's done) ####2.3.2 Directly by double click on it, if you installed your JVM from Oracle (most common choice)

The data file, Vocabulon doesn't take care about the data file extension, but it use his own and very simple structure. ###3.1 Description Aud In Unter ...(a) de|fr(b) Mot à traduire|traduction|réponse(c) auf|sur (d) vor|devant

The separator is the pipe "|"
(a) This line is the title of the window

    the one on the left indicates the langage ins the left column
