From Projectjj repo
- Install the Kazakh module using apt-get from Projectjj repo.
sudo apt-get install apertium-kaz
Copy the language module to directory
cp /usr/share/apertium/apertium-kaz/kaz.zhfst ~/.voikko/
Or compile it
- Install Prerequisites
Please go to Minimal installation from SVN to install a language pair.
- To install Kazakh language module, first get it
svn co https://svn.code.sf.net/p/apertium/svn/languages/apertium-kaz/ cd apertium-kaz ./autogen.sh --enable-ospell && make

cp kaz.zhfst ~/voikko/kk.zhfst
Test The spelling module
echo "қазақша билмеймін" | tr ' ' '\n' | voikkospell -d kk -s
