If you want to add a word to the dictionary, please add it to the Open Utau Dictionary. You can also request words to be added here.
You can type a word in French and split it in syllables with +. Because of the way Synth V handles syllables in Chinese, you'll have to add additional splits for CCs as shown below.
If you want to say words like l'année or j'en you'll have to split them in two notes l' + année and j' + en as shown below.
In French, you also have liaisons, and some words might not always be pronounced the same way. Because of that, you may sometimes need to put word(2), word(3) or even word(4). For example, absentes has 4 entries.
With the ANY2FRA dictionary, you can switch between Chinese, English & Japanese phonemes. You just need to add * for Japanese or $ for English.
Here is a table of the phonemes used for conversion in both dictionaries (in bold), additional phonemes are added. For more information on each phoneme you can consult the wiki (WIP).
