Is the source code open and where is it located, please? I see that you are probably using gSheet/gDoc to generate the optimal distribution. I would like to create a similar table for Czech language employing the statistical distribution for the Czech alphabet.

I admire you to go for gDocs. I cannot see myself building the algorithm in any spreadsheet -- simply due to the assumed algorithmical complexity) -- I would rather aim for a Python script.

So it's not actually code or algorithm driven -- it's a manual process based off of research others have done on letter frequency and then I pick a roughly even number of letters to get to comparable odds of a die roll.

For Czech I found a letter frequency chart here and using that I generated the following chart:

Please let me know if that works or if something is off frequency wise, but if it's good I'd be happy to churn out a Czech translation of the final doc.

Thank you for the prompt answer. The referenced source is a private research and requires proper referencing when used. Instead, I would suggest to go with the frequencies listed on the Wikipedia. Use the frequency values for joint groups (a+á, c+č).

What? Manually?! Good job! My script for generating the D4 column is still running. Several hours over night…

(Curiosity engaged: did you later find a bug that drove up the runtime? Is your script on GitHub or similar?)

Bugs fixed. Code improved. Doc is missing. In progress.
