Chapter 4. Adding Sounds to KLettres

The English sounds are the most needed at the moment. They would be the default language if the user language is not available.

If you would like to add sounds in your own language, it is very easy to do so. Record the alphabet sounds and place them in a folder named 'alpha'. Please write the letters (one per line) in a text file and save it with utf8 encoding in the 'alpha' folder. Then record the most current syllables and put them in a folder named 'syllab'. Write the syllables (one per line) in a text file and save it with utf8 encoding in the 'syllab' folder. The sounds should be in wav or ogg format and long enough for KAudioPlayer to play them (between 1.5 and 2 seconds long, please add some silence if they are too short). Then make a tarball of all that and send it to me. Additionally you can tell me about special letters in your language so I can easily generate the Special Characters Toolbar.

See the KLettres website for more detailed instructions on how to add a new language.
