"The English Field did not contain an entry for every word"

[Arkamez Blankenship]

Greetings Everyone,

I am in the process of transitioning to Miromaa from Fieldworks Language Explorer.  I have a good amount of data that I would like to transfer to Miromaa without having to enter each item individually.  I am a novice at all language software, so this may be much simpler than it appears to be for me.  I was able to view the sfm file I exported from Fieldworks in the Miromaa Open/Import window.  I did now know what I was supposed to do from there however, and when I clicked on import (after filling in tags for field markers in the "Your Selection" column) I simply received an error-type message that "The English Field did not contain an entry for every word." Perhaps this is because I don't have English entries for every lexeme or affixes in my Fieldworks (xml/sfm) file?

Hi Arkamez,

Could you please send us a sample sfm file with maybe 2 to 3 records so we can get some idea of your fields, please send this to our email address. We have also passed this onto our developer who will also provide some advice as well, also we have this web page http://www.miromaa.com.au/learning-centre/how-to/75-miromaa-import-instructions.html which may help if you have not already used it.

We have not considered Fieldworks data transfer into Miromaa before so are really keen to see how it can be done.

Regards

Daryn
