Resources
Code snippets
If you've written some stuff for Apertium but haven't got round to actually making a language pair, feel free to make a new page for the language in question and paste it there. Stuff like basic dictionaries, paradigms, rules, hacks etc. are all welcome. See also the Cookbook. See also: Incubator
General
Staying in touch
- apertium-stuff — mailing list.
irc.freenode.net#apertium(you can use our CGI::IRC client, or, if you use Mozilla, Firefox or Seamonkey, you may try typing irc://irc.freenode.net/#apertium, which will start the Chatzilla client)- If you find a bug, report it in bugzilla!
Apertium development tools
- Apertium-view - a little GUI application that allows you to view and edit the output of every phase in a translation.
Wacky ideas
Interested in hacking on a module for apertium that expands the functionality, and the quality of translations that we can generate? Take a look at the following topics:
- Earley-based structural transfer for Apertium
- Prefixes and infixes
- Agglutination and compounds
- Separable verbs
- Named entity recognition
- Word sense disambiguation
- Orthographic normalisation
- Projects — possible outlines for academic projects.
For a more general idea of what is currently on our development list, see:
