@Leornendeealdenglisc Why are you entering dät as dat? Korn (talk) 21:53, 7 March 2018 (UTC)Reply
ːː So English speakers can find it without using the a umlaut and learn to see that there is one. Leornendeealdenglisc (talk) 22:31, 7 March 2018 (UTC)Reply
- That's not how this dictionary works. We enter things as they are usually spelled by native speakers. I'm going to move it. Korn (talk) 11:43, 8 March 2018 (UTC)Reply
ː For Old languages, we enter without accents but add the accents in the heading of entry. I thought the same for Saterland Frisian. Leornendeealdenglisc (talk) 14:22, 8 March 2018 (UTC)Reply
- It depends on how the diacritics are used. In Latin and Old English, for example, macrons are found in pedagogical works (textbooks and reference grammars), but aren't normally found in running text. So we don't use macrons for those languages in our entries. But in Latvian and Hawaiian, macrons are used in running text, so for those languages we do use the macrons. If books and newspapers and magazines written in Saterland Frisian spell the word dät with an umlaut, then that's how we spell it too. —Mahāgaja (formerly Angr) · talk 14:27, 8 March 2018 (UTC)Reply
