Catalan (Wikipedia:Catalan language) is a Romance language. It is available in Apertium as a standalone analyser/generator (apertium-cat) and as a component of several pairs which translate to/from Catalan.

Dictionary guidelines

The current Catalan dictionary is quite big (more than 55,000 entries), so tidiness is essential to ensure future development:

  • Keep entries sorted alphabetically.
  • Keep entries grouped by type and tags (do not mix different types of proper nouns together).
  • Check the file with apertium-dixtools (to update the number of entries and remove duplicates).

Proper nouns

Catalan proper nouns (names, toponyms, acronyms, etc.) should all have gender and number. They were once removed, but they should be specified using the following paradigms:

  • Toponyms <np><top><m><sg>: Iran__np
  • Toponyms <np><top><f><sg>: Àfrica__np
  • Toponyms <np><top><m><pl>: Estats_Units__np
  • Toponyms <np><top><f><pl>: Balears__np
  • Antroponyms <np><ant><m><sg>: Marc__np
  • Antroponyms <np><ant><f><sg>: Maria__np
  • Family names <np><cog><mf><sp>: Saussure__np
  • Others <np><al><m><sg>: Linux__np
  • Others <np><al><f><sg>: Wikipedia__np
  • Others <np><al><m><pl>: Jocs_Olímpics__np
  • Others <np><al><f><pl>: Falles__np
  • Others <np><al><mf><sp>: Honda__np

Future work

  • Add support for proper noun articles (en/na).
  • Restore gender and number to proper nouns that still do not have them.
  • Tweak entries related to proper nouns with translations (kings, queens, etc.).
