Thus, the extensible reading system allows the user to update the readings for mapping keyboard characters to language characters much more frequently.

Abstract: In one aspect of a computer-implemented method of diagnosing formatting errors in document renderings, first and second renderings of a document are generated that correspond respectively to first and second locales.

A report is generated specifying the first textual element as having the first difference. In another aspect of the method, a rendering of a document is generated that corresponds to a locale. It is determined that a first element of the document having a first element type has a format in the rendering distinct from a format associated with the first element type in the locale. A report is generated specifying that the first element has a potential formatting error.

The method includes outputting decisions on merging of pairs of words in a translated text string with a merging system. The merging system can include a set of stored heuristics and/or a merging model. In the case of heuristics, these can include a heuristic by which two consecutive words in the string are considered for merging if the first word of the two consecutive words is recognized as a compound modifier and their observed frequency f1 as a closed compound word is larger than an observed frequency f2 of the two consecutive words as a bigram. In the case of a merging model, it can be one that is trained on features associated with pairs of consecutive tokens of text strings in a training set and predetermined merging decisions for the pairs.
