Explain an Appertium translation

This Python script explains an Apertium translation in terms of its parts. More specifically, it looks for coorespondences between the translation of a text and its source. Run the script using ./explain.py. To see the available options, try ./explain.py --help:

$ ./explain.py --help
usage: explain.py [-h] [-m MAXSOURCELENGTH] [-M MAXTRANSLATIONLENGTH]
                  [-d DIRECTORY] [-t]
                  sourceLanguage targetLanguage S

Apertium translation parts

positional arguments:
  sourceLanguage        source language
  targetLanguage        target language
  S                     input text

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -m MAXSOURCELENGTH, --maxSourceLength MAXSOURCELENGTH
                        maximum length of whole-word subsegments (for source
                        text)
  -M MAXTRANSLATIONLENGTH, --maxTranslationLength MAXTRANSLATIONLENGTH
                        maximum length of whole word subsegments (for
                        translated text)
  -d DIRECTORY, --directory DIRECTORY
                        directory of Apertium language pair
  -t, --table           prints reference table of characters


Usage

Since explain.py relies on a dependency in a submodule, remember to add the flag --recursive to your git clone. For example,

   git clone --recursive https://github.com/sushain97/explain-translation.git

If you get the error ImportError: No module named 'streamparser.streamparser', pull down the submodule using

   git submodule update --init

An example
