Issues(en-bn)
- In the rule "SN SV SN" in t2x, case for the last SN is forced <obj>. This is not right all the time; say,
"I eat fish" → "আমি মাছকে খাই"
this should be "আমি মাছ খাই", whereas,
"I love you" → "আমি আপনাকে ভালবাসি"
is ok with case <obj>.
- About the future perfect tense, it should like this:
"I shall have eaten rice" → "আমি ভাত খেয়ে থাকব"
But we don't have inflections for the verb 'খ/া' for 'েয়ে থাকব'
- May be some tagger problem; running the following for pretransfer output with "Zaher plays football":
echo "Zaher plays football" | /usr/local/bin/lt-proc /usr/local/share/apertium/apertium-bn-en/en-bn.automorf.bin | \ /usr/local/bin/apertium-tagger -g /usr/local/share/apertium/apertium-bn-en/en-bn.prob |/usr/local/bin/apertium-pretransfer
outputs this:
^Zaher<np><ant><m><sg>$ ^play<n><pl>$ ^football<n><sg>$
where 'plays' should be analyzed as verb (play<vblex><pri><p3><sg>). And for this reason, we get such outputs:
"Zaher plays football" → "জাহের নাটকগুলো ফুটবল"
