Coding Challenge

As I said before, I have already begun studying the files and how everything works. I have worked and made significant changes on the apertium-oci-fra file. My potential mentor Hèctor Alòs has been a great guide and superviser. I have learnt much of the syntax used and how it works, and we even went through many technical problems together. I had then much appreciated help from Shardul Chiplunkar (shardulc; धन्यवाद), Jacob Nordfalk (JacobEo), Tino Didriksen and Ilnar Salimzianov (selimcan; Räxmät!) from the Apertium community. I think that I have finally managed to catch a decent grasp of many of the commands and much of the syntax, even though I guess much more remains to be acquired!

As mentioned previously I have worked mostly on the oci-fra file, trying to understand how things worked, and then added many words trying to fill the gaps that the translation of the James and Mary text gave at first. It is not finished yet but it looks much better and even though some sentences still make trouble I am confident it will be completed soon.

Currently, the translator can generate Aranese and standard Occitan translations.

However most of the problems encountered so far have been in trying to find the best referencial forms to be used in the bilingual file and sort of all this out; since Occitan possesses much dialectal variation it is a difficult task to make sure you choose the right word. One of the main objectives will be improving and expanding the monolingual Occitan dictionary so it can produce texts in standard Occitan, avoiding the mixing of different Occitan dialectal solutions. Albeit, at the same time it will have to be flexible enough so it can accept other varieties and even produce later diverse dialectal translations.
