Revision as of 11:18, 25 August 2008
These are my notes for making the English-Esperanto translator but I might be usefull to the same kind of people like me who knows next to nothing about linguistics.
Ive installed standtard Ubuntu packages and theyre working fine:
Using Apertium
echo "Jeg vil gå en tur" | apertium da-sv Jag vill gå en tur
or
$ echo "Jeg vil gå en tur" | apertium -d apertium-sv-da da-sv Jag vill gå en tur
don't use the command apertium-translator, its old and deprecated!
how to add a missing word
You will need to add the word in both the source language monodix AND on the translation dictionary.
Example: I want to add "treeview" which is an English noun.
First I check if its in the English monodict apertium-eo-en.en.dix. If it isnt we'll need to add it.
First we need to find the regular noun paradigm in english The paradigm is 'house__n'. Why 'house' ? Just because it's a memorable example.
