This opens a new discussion: A "Java port" of Apertium, enabling use on |
|||
- Windows, |
|||
- J2ME/Android phones, |
|||
- web pages (applets), |
|||
- desktop application, |
|||
- Java server applications. |
|||
The last 2 is relevant as, for example an OpenOffice.org plugin should be platform independent to be maintainable. |
|||
AFAIK we havent seen anyone embedding Apertium in a desktop application. Currently Apertium is usable in a local subdir but installation isnt trivial to an end user, but note that 'embedding' something isnt the same as 'using a locally installed version'. |
|||
Having a packaged easy-to-use version of Apertium ready for embedding MT in a larger program would be so cool I havent got words for it. |
|||
Of course an answer here is "web service", but there can be reasons why people prefers to have things installed locally (we don't need to repeat them here). |
|||
Missing for a complete port of apertium in java is tagger, piping/modes, interchunk/postchunk and format handling. |
|||
Any thoughts on this? |
|||
Af I see it: |
|||
- Interchunk/postchunk I could do in very short time, so I could mentor this |
|||
- Tagger: The C++ code is there and some has already been ported to Java (lttoolbox parts), probably someone could port it relatively easy, if someone understanding tagger would co-mentor that part. I'd say its not necessary to port tagger training, just the core (bigram) tagging during translation. |
|||
- Piping/modes isnt too hard. |
|||
- Format handling: I'd say that it would be OK just to be able to handle normal text. |
