triplets.txt

Hi, could someone kindly tell me what the file "triplets.txt" is used for, and if I need to have it in my rules directory or not?

Cheers,
Jeremy

And what version are you talking about? I don't have triplets.txt in any of
my 3.2.4 installations.

There not a single mention of triplets.txt anywhere except
Plugins/HeaderEval.pm. And only in check_for_unique_subject_id function
that isn't even used.

TextCat references "languages" file in rules, not triplets.txt.

Theo,

It would appear that triplets.txt is not included with 3.2.4, and 
probably isn't in any 3.2.x release.

Looking at the code, triplets.txt is still used by 
HeaderEval.pm:word_is_in_dictionary(), which in turn is used in 
HeaderEval.pm:check_for_unique_subject_id(). However, no rules in the 
standard set utilize that eval in 3.2.4. It was used by SUBJ_HAS_UNIQ_ID 
in 3.1.x, but that rule isn't present anymore in 3.2.4. It would appear 
triplets.txt was removed because nothing is actually using it anymore, 
however I would expect the eval functions using it should have been 
removed at the same time.

After a bit more research, TextCat appears to actually use the 
"languages" file instead of triplets.txt. (as far back as 2.50).

Just to be more specific -- it needs to be in the default rules directory.
You don't need it in the local state dir, site rules dir, user preferences
dir, etc.

If it's not there already, your install would seem to have some issues.

It's used for the TextCat plugin (which provides the ok_languages 
option). While you should have it in your rules directory, it won't 
break anything if you've got TextCat disabled.
