 MARC Code List for Languages
Additional codes for individual languages are created from time to time when it becomes apparent that a significant body of literature in a particular language already exists, or when it is determined that the amount of material in a language is growing.
While some individual languages are given their own unique code, although linguistically they are part of a language group, many individual languages are assigned a group code, because it is not considered practical to establish a separate code for each.
Ancient languages which are not given unique codes are assigned the code for the major language group to which each belongs, rather than the code for the modern language which evolved from the ancient language.

 French Idiom Transducer
Our full list of English verb conjugations was written by hand, but for French conjugations, we used a web page from http://www.arts.uwaterloo.ca/FREN/pleiade/dico-c.htm.  To convert this from an HTML document to a machine-readable text file took one more Perl program, conjhtml2txt.pl. We also wrote numerous test programs and other Perl scripting files to assist development.
The list of idioms was compiled of common English phrasal verbs, and French idioms from a French Idiom Dictionary (Denoeu, Sices, and Sices 1996).
To ensure that they had French counterparts, we only used the phrasal verbs that appeared in the French-English Idiom Dictionary. (4) Because most of the translation tasks of FIT are from French to English, we also extracted from the dictionary various French idioms.
