Disambiguation
To correctly discern the lemma and the morphology so as to be translated correctly into the target language, Apertium uses Constraint Grammar (CG). Currently Uyghur has about 45 CG rules for disambiguation.
Lexical Selection
To determine in which context which translation of a given lemma would be selected, lexical selection is employed. Currently uig-tur has 35 lexsel rules.
