A project is for a single vernacular language.
The vernacular language is the language for which words are being collected. This is usually a local, indigenous, minority, autochthonous, heritage, or endangered langauge or dialect.
The analysis language is the language into which the vernacular language is being translated. This is usually a regional, national, official, or majority language of the location where the vernacular is used.
If you have linguistics data in a LIFT file (likely exported from The Combine, WeSay, FLEx, or Lexique Pro), you can hit the BROWSE button next to "Upload .zip project file?" to import the data into your project.
When a project has been created or selected, it becomes the active project, and the project name appears in the middle of the App Bar at the top of The Combine. Clicking on the project name brings up Project Settings for managing the project. The following settings are available for project users with sufficient permissions.
The vernacular language specified at project creation is fixed.
There may be multiple analysis languages associated with the project, but only the top one on the list here is active and associated with new data entries.
!!! note
Currently, the maximum size of Lift files supported for import is 250MB.
!!! note
Currently, only one LIFT file can be imported per project.
After clicking the Export button, you can navigate to other parts of the website. A download icon will appear in the App Bar when the export is ready for download. A project that has reached hundreds of MB in size may take tens of minutes to export.
The default setting is On: When a user is entering the vernacular of a new entry in Data Entry, this setting gives suggestions of similar existing entries, allowing the user to select an existing entry and add a new sense to that entry, rather than creating a (mostly) duplicate to something previously entered.
(This does not effect the gloss spelling suggestions, which are based on a dictionary independent of existing project data.)
