spelling vs trimming[edit]
The speller should not give suggestions that aren't in bidix, since clicking "oh yes that's what I meant" and then it's not translated anyway, will just be frustrating.
On the other hand, the speller should use as large a lexicon as possible, so that we don't suggest bidix-words for words that are actually correct (but just happen not to be in bidix). One way of doing this in a space-efficient way would be to have an FSA where there are three possible states of finality:
- not final,
- correct but not suggest (words only in spelldix), and
- correct and suggest (words that are in bidix).
