The '''Celtic languages''' include Welsh (<code>cy</code>), Breton (<code>br</code>), Cornish (<code>kw</code>), Irish (<code>ga</code>) and Scottish Gaelic (<code>gd</code>). The languages are related with varying levels of mutual intelligibility. This group would make a nice group for Apertium systems.

The '''Celtic languages''' (<code>[http://www.ethnologue.com/subgroups/celtic cel]</code>) include [[Welsh]] (<code>cy</code>), [[Breton]] (<code>br</code>), [[Cornish]] (<code>kw</code>), [[Irish]] (<code>ga</code>), [[Manx]] (<code>gv</code>), and [[Scottish Gaelic]] (<code>gd</code>). Most commonly spoken on the north-western edge of Europe, the languages are related with varying levels of mutual intelligibility.

The master plan involves generating independent finite-state transducers for each language, and then making individual dictionaries and transfer rules for every pair. The current status of these goals is listed below.

The ultimate goal is to have multi-purposable transducers for a variety of Celtic languages. These can then be paired for X→Y translation with the addition of a [[Constraint Grammar|CG]] for language X and transfer rules / dictionary for the pair X→Y. Below is listed development progress for each language's transducers and dictionary pairs.

Once a transducer has ~80% coverage on a range of medium-large corpora we can say it is "working". Over 90% and it can be considered to be "production".

En français

The Celtic languages (cel) include Welsh (cy), Breton (br), Cornish (kw), Irish (ga), Manx (gv), and Scottish Gaelic (gd). Most commonly spoken on the north-western edge of Europe, the languages are related with varying levels of mutual intelligibility.

The master plan involves generating independent finite-state transducers for each language, and then making individual dictionaries and transfer rules for every pair. The current status of these goals is listed below.

Status[edit]

The ultimate goal is to have multi-purposable transducers for a variety of Celtic languages. These can then be paired for X→Y translation with the addition of a CG for language X and transfer rules / dictionary for the pair X→Y. Below is listed development progress for each language's transducers and dictionary pairs.

Transducers[edit]

Once a transducer has ~80% coverage on a range of medium-large corpora we can say it is "working". Over 90% and it can be considered to be "production".
