Hallo, I was wandering for some great trick by Phil (or some very experienced user!) to create some "conversion / add tables" to work on keywords (or keywords-like fields) as I'm trying to explain as follows:
WAY 1) search and replace keyword : given the keyword "red" (if found) in the keyword (subject...) field among other keywords, it has to be replaced with <something>
examples for <something> = rouge /// red color /// green /// red led /// red lights /// carta
WAY 2) search keyword, ADD a list of keywords: given the word "apple" (if found) it must be added a list of the following keywords: red, yellow, green, vegetable, food and drink, healthy food ... ... and so on.
this with LISTS of add/replacements
so that I could replace a list of the same things with some other things in my "dictionaries"
A list of keywords related to people, another to abstract concepts, another with typical orthographic errors...
(is there a chance to have another way to correct orthographical errors "automatically"?)
Thanks to everyone trying to think about this... but MANY thanks to everyone trying to SOLVE this!!!!!!! :D ;D
You will find it is tricky to do this properly. You can't just replace "red" with "green" for example. What happens if a keyword is "reduction", or "Red Barn"?
If you can figure out how to handle all cases like this, then the best way to do this is with a user-defined tag in a config file. This can certainly be done, but I don't have the time right now or enough details to be able to do this for you.

Try the config file in this post (https://exiftool.org/forum/index.php?topic=11838.msg63836#msg63836). Given a keyword in the DATA section, it will be replaced by all the keywords that follow it.

Thanks Star! I'll give a try!
