- Testvoc-lite (
apertium-tat-rus/testvoc/lite$ ./testvoc.sh) for a category means taking one word per each sub-category and making the full paradigm of the word pass through the translator without debug symbols. E.g. "testvoc-lite for nouns clean" means that if we leave only one word in each of the N1, N-COMPOUND-PX etc. lexicons, they will pass through translator without [@#] errors. - Evaluation is taking words and performing an evaluation for post-edition word error rate (WER). The output for those words should be clean.
