We could change oe to oe-ligature where appropriate in Louis Segond. That would be simple enough since editions exist online that use oe-ligature correctly.
However, since we won't be doing language-specific search tweaks and since oe-ligature basicallly can't be typed on French keyboards, the change would make these words unsearchable. While the ligature might be helpful to non-native speakers needing cues to pronunciation, I don't think any native French speakers would have any issues with reading the text exactly as it is now. Do you still think the change would be beneficial? Do any users who use French as their primary language consider the change an improvement? --Chris Leandro Guimarães Faria Corcete DUTRA wrote: > I notices there are no French ligatures in Louis SÉGOND’s > translation.
