You will need to install [http://ant.apache.org/ Ant] and [http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp Java Development Kit 6 (JDK6)] |

$ sudo apt-get install ant sun-java6-jdk |

=== Using a Linguistic Resources Document === |
|||
You can define a [[Linguistic Resources Document]] (LRD) and use it to indicate which dictionaries will be used for crossing: |
|||
$ apertium-crossdics -f my-linguistic-resources.xml sl-tl |
|||
Therefore, only 2 parameters are needed: |
|||
* '''my-linguistic-resources.xml''': a document specifying a set of linguistic resources (dictionaries, cross models, corpora, other LRD files, etc). |
|||
* '''sl-tl''': source language (sl) and target language (tl). |
|||
Note that this form uses the <code>apertium-dixtools</code> script (the <code>apertium-crossdics</code> script still uses the "old" form) |
|||
=== Without a Linguistic Resources Document === |
|||
First of all, copy linguistic data into folder "dics" |
|||
* Bilingual dictionary A-B: <code>apertium-bb-aa.bb-aa.dix</code> |
|||
* Bilingual dictionary B-C: <code>apertium-bb-cc.bb-cc.dix</code> |
|||
* Morphological dictionary A: <code>apertium-bb-aa.aa.dix</code> |
|||
* Morphological dictionary C: <code>apertium-bb-cc.cc.dix</code> |
|||
Please note that: |
|||
* all dictionaries must be in the form: |
|||
** <code>apertium-xx-yy.xx-yy.dix</code> (bilingual dictionaries) |
|||
** <code>apertium-xx-yy.xx.dix</code> (morphological dictionaries) |
|||
* the common language (B) must be in the left side, that is, dictionaries in the form B-A and B-C |
|||
* use "-r" instead of "-n" if the dictionary has to be [[Reverse a dictionary|reversed]] (apertium-aa-bb.aa-bb.dix to apertium-bb-aa.bb-aa.dix) |
|||
Use the '''apertium-dixtools''' script to cross the dictionaries: |
|||
$ apertium-dixtools cross-param '''monA.dix''' -n '''bilAB.dix''' -n '''bilBC-dix''' '''monC.dix''' |
|||
An example crossing '''es-ca''' and '''es-pt''' to get the '''ca-pt''' pair. |
|||
<pre> |
|||
$ apertium-dixtools cross-param dics/apertium-es-ca.ca.dix -n dics/apertium-es-ca.es-ca.dix -n dics/apertium-es-pt.es-pt.dix dics/apertium-es-pt.pt.dix |
|||
</pre> |
|||
== |
== Running the application == |
||
Copy/send the .jar file to your mobile device. |
|||
By default, the crossdics tool uses a simple cross model defining very simple rules for crossing two sets of dictionaries. However, more specific cross actions might be needed in order to cross certain [[List of language pairs|language pairs]] correctly. [[Cross Model|Defining a new cross schema]] with concrete pattern-action elements solves this problem. |

TinyLex is a J2ME (Java 2 Micro Edition) program for mobile devices which looks up dictionary entries. It is free software and released under the terms of the GNU General Public License v2.0.
Requirements
- Ant
- Java Development Kit 6 (JDK6)
- Netbeans (>6.0) (some libraries are needed to build the project)
- Mobile Device supporting J2ME MIDP 2.0
Download
$ svn co https://apertium.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/apertium/trunk/apertium-mobile/apertium-tinylex
Build
$ cd apertium-mobile $ cd apertium-tinylex
It is recommended to open this project with Netbeans before (only the first time). This will create a 'private' directory inside 'nbproject' with some user properties (this is the easiest way to get them).
After that,
$ ant jar-all
Running the application
Copy/send the .jar file to your mobile device.
