Files and development

Current to-do list and GSoC Workplan are available.

To edit the monolingual dictionaries, please edit the individual language modules (apertium-kaz and apertium-kir). NOTE: The monolingual dictionaries (.lexc and .twol files) and disambiguation rules (.rlx files) are no longer kept in the bilingual module, and so the update-morphs.bash script is no longer necessary.

The main dictionary file is apertium-kaz-kir.kaz-kir.dix, lexical selection is in the .lrx file, and transfer rules are in the .t1x and .t2x files.
