If you have a parallel corpus, one of the things you can do is generate some lexical selection rules from it, to improve translation of words with more than one possible translation.

You will need

Here is a list of software that you will need installed:

  • Giza++ (or some other word aligner)
  • Moses (for making Giza++ less human hostile)
  • All the Moses scripts
  • lttoolbox
  • Apertium
  • apertium-lex-tools

Furthermore you'll need:

  • an Apertium language pair
  • a parallel corpus
