Triilingual dictionary

Dictionary App Builder
1

I have the following issues when creating an App from my trilingual database (vernacular, LWC, and English):
Everything looks fine and formatted the way I like, except the vernacular summary list. In this list, I have the following issues:

  1. Glosses run into each other (That’s the only one I could find a workaround for by creating Appearance - Changes that will insert a colon and a space after the writing system labels).
  2. When there is a definition or gloss in more than one language, the definition or gloss in the first language gets repeated.
  3. Everything in the vernacular summary list is in the same font color (of the vernacular).

I looked through various posts (especially the thread The Summary Gloss - how to make it work properly? ) but could not get anything to work.
Part of the reason may be that I don’t speak XHTML.

I tried different settings in FLEx, (e.g., adding a definition style for each language), modifying the XHTML output file by adding changes into DAB

I am using FLEx 9.2.7 and DAB 12.5
I am using a Hybrid dictionary format, and would like to keep a writing system language label preceding the definition or gloss.
Any suggestions?

Hi Peter,

could you share one word entry from the .xhtml file, then we could see what find-replace we need to run to remove the repitition of the first language gloss
