Re: SIRLM for unicode

I'm not familiar with unicode, unfortunately.  However, SRILM does
not "interpret" characters other than for parsing lines of text into
words.  It assumes that words are separated by spaces.  So if unicode
uses the same encoding of space characters as ASCII then you should be fine.

The case mappping functions (-tolower option) in various tools will
probably not work correctly for multi-byte character sets.
