Apertium-view is a little program which can be used to view and edit the output of the various stages of an apertium translation.

The various stages update while you type, and a change made in any one pane updates the subsequent stages.

Currently, the program is in its early stages and it will take some time before it becomes fully usable. But if you are a developer with some knowledge of Java, you can already dive in.

What you need

  • Java JDK 1.6

Running apertium-view

Just double-click on ApertiumView.jar

It this don't work, type

Related software

  • Apertium-view is very similar to, just coded in Python instead of Java.
  • Apertium-tolk is similar to, but much simpler than Apertium-view. It only has an input window and an output window. Where Apertium-view is aimed at developers, Apertium-tolk is intended to be as user friendly as possible.
