Hi Franz, We are adding an implementation of Cologne Phonetic to Apache Commons Codec for version 1.5.
I want to use your data from http://sourceforge.net/projects/familynamephon/ as a test fixture. I've found differences between the codes generated by our ColognePhonetic class and the data in the data file. I'd like to know if this is a bug in our code, the code that generates the test fixture, or a "feature" of some kind that I am unaware of. Since I am not a German speaker, some help would be appreciated. For example, the first two line in the data file are: 1 Aa a a A A000 2 Aaaken aken aken 46 AKN A250 (Team Codec: The Cologne Phonetic code is in column 4.) AA generates no code at all, we generate 0 Aaaken maps to 46, , we generate 046 Bug, not a bug? Thoughts?
