Open Source Keyman lexical models

File Layout

Models are grouped into two folders:

• release -
• experimental -

Within each of the folders, models are further grouped by the template author/bcp47.[uniq]. For example, the folder structure may be:

• release/example/en.custom/

The components must be lower case and are:

• author: a short unique identifier, such as nrc or sil.
• bcp47: the canonical BCP 47 tag for the model. For example km for Khmer, or en-au for Australian English.
• uniq: an optional component that can be provided when a given language has multiple models from a single author. For example, en.custom vs en.wordlist. We do recommend always using a uniquifer even if there are no current plans to produce more than one for a language.

Building Models

• Node.js
• Git for your platform
• You will need to use Git Bash or equivalent to build.

Build instructions

build.sh can be used to build all the models from the command line.

• Common build.sh parameters:
  • configure Install dependencies (including kmc compiler)
  • build Creates compiled models
  • clean Cleans intermediate and output files
  • test Runs tests on models
  • -s, --silent Quiet build
  • -m, --model <target> The specific model(s) to build, e.g. release or release/example/en.template
  • -h, --help Full help for build.sh
