apertium-af-nl 0.1
The first version of the af-nl language pack is now in SVN -- and can be found in the attic. However, the Dutch (NL) morphological dictionary doesn't contain enough words to do proper translations. Here are some of the words that should be added to the NL dictionary (from the first sentence I've tried to translate):
- trein
- vertrekt
- uur
- Etc.
If you can help, please do let us know!
What is needed
To fix the Dutch morphological dictionary, we need a word list that contains forms or paradigms like this:
bier,bier,n.sg bier,biere,n.pl
Where n=noun, sg=singular, pl=plural, etc.
A list that can be converted to this format will also do.
The Tadpole morphological analyser should produce sufficient level of detail to be converted into an Apertium format.
Dictionaries
- One might want to ask the Instituut voor Nederlands Lexicologie whether they would be willing to donate some of their word lists for the Dutch morphological dictionary.
