Norwegian speech and its dialect and sentence problems

The problem with number 2 is that it will be unclear to the speaker when they should speak as written, and when they should not. As an example “ to see ” is written “ å sjå ”. But if we have a rule of “say it like it’s written” for “å verta” and “å bli” (and similar pairs), it will be hard for a speaker ho says “å se” in her dialect to know that she should not say “å sjå” in this particular case. She would have to know that “å se” is not a valid way to write to see .

I’m not sure I understand the problem here. The sentences will be shown to the speaker as it is, there should be no translation whatsoever. IMHO the corpus data should just have enough of each dialect so the model would understand all different ways of saying something. Or am I missing something here?
