#### Linguistics - English, Latin, Polish, Quechua, Spanish, Tikuna

**INTRODUCING LNGCNV**

The acronym 'lngcnv' may signify e.g., a 'language converter', a 'linguistic converter', or a 'lenguaje convertido' (Spanish for 'converted language').

lngcnv is capable of presenting the precise pronunciation of a phrase using the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA). It can also translate between various dialects of a language and convert between different orthographic norms.

The program can accept input in the form of a word or text either directly through the command line or by being included in a file, such as a lengthy book. There is also a REPL (read-eval-print loop) mode available for interactive use.

Six modern and ancient languages, including a range of dialects, are currently supported.

The program's source code and linguistic algorithms were created entirely from scratch and are distributed under the MIT License. lngcnv is written in Rust for high performance, code correctness, and ease of long-term development.

To display the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) characters accurately, it is recommended to use one of the following fonts: Charis SIL, Doulos SIL, or Gentium Plus. When showing IPA characters in the terminal, it is best to use the Unicode font Noto Sans Mono.

## Enable snaps on openSUSE and install lngcnv

Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully.

Snaps are discoverable and installable from the [Snap Store](https://snapcraft.io/store), an app store with an audience of millions.

### Enable snapd

Snap can be installed from the command line on openSUSE Leap 15.x and Tumbleweed.

You need first add the *snappy* repository from the terminal. Choose the appropriate command depending on your installed openSUSE flavor.

Tumbleweed:

```
sudo zypper addrepo --refresh https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/system:/snappy/openSUSE_Tumbleweed snappy
```

Leap 15.x:

```
sudo zypper addrepo --refresh https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/system:/snappy/openSUSE_Leap_15.6 snappy
```

If needed, Swap out `openSUSE_Leap_15.` for, `openSUSE_Leap_16.0` if you’re using a different version of openSUSE.

With the repository added, import its GPG key:

```
sudo zypper --gpg-auto-import-keys refresh
```

Finally, upgrade the package cache to include the new *snappy* repository:

```
sudo zypper dup --from snappy
```

Snap can now be installed with the following:

```
sudo zypper install snapd
```

You then need to either reboot, logout/login or `source /etc/profile` to have /snap/bin added to PATH.
Additionally, enable and start both the *snapd* and the *snapd.apparmor* services with the following commands:

```
sudo systemctl enable --now snapd
sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.apparmor
```
