[Recreation of bug 2455 from Jan 9, which got lost in the disk crash around Jan 29. Newest backup data is from Jan 5, around 4 AM. Recreation based on bugzilla mails received by me. If there are more comments, please add to this bug by copying in text from old e-mails.]

Today, xml to lexc lexicon conversion uses the xsl script

giella-core/scripts/xsl/generate_lex-fileVM.xsl in the following way

1. It is the same script for all lgs
2. It picks the fin translation
3. It picks the whole translation

We want:

1. a makefile condition saying:
if the generate_lex-fileVM.xsl exists in $LANG/src/scripts, use that
if not, use the one in giella-core

2. For the local script to be made in mhr (and elsewhere ad lib), 
a. ask for eng, and not fin translations
b. if eng does not exist, ask for fin (i.e. have a fallback)
c. do not take the whole translation , but cut at the first "," or ";"
d. remove any content in parenthesis before this comma

Number 3. should be >> picks the entire translation of the FIRST t element content by default

                  <xsl:choose>
                    <xsl:when test="../../../mg[1]/tg[@xml:lang='fin']/t[1]">
                      <xsl:value-of select="normalize-space(../../../mg[1]/tg[@xml:lang='fin']/t[1])"/>
                    </xsl:when>

CORRECTION to what the script does:
2. It picks the fin translation (tg) of the first mg element
3. It picks only the first t element content

It would be even BETTER if there were a possibility to select other languages,
too, i.e. someone might want to use fra or rus.
