Apertium Afrikaans-German Language Pair
Afrikaans and German: `apertium-afr-deu`
===============================================================================
This is an Apertium language pair for translating between Afrikaans and
German. What you can use this language package for:
* Translating between Afrikaans and German
* Morphological analysis of Afrikaans and German
* Part-of-speech tagging of Afrikaans and German
For information on the latter two points, see subheading "For more
information" below.
Requirements
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You will need the following software installed:
* lttoolbox (>= 3.3.0)
* apertium (>= 3.3.0)
* vislcg3 (>= 0.9.9.10297)
* apertium-afr
* apertium-deu
If this does not make any sense, we recommend you look at: apertium.org.
Compiling
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Given the requirements being installed, you should be able to just run:
$ ./configure
$ make
# make install
You can use `./autogen.sh` instead of `./configure` you're compiling from
source. If you installed any prerequisite language packages using a `--prefix`
to `./configure`, make sure to give the same `--prefix` to `./configure` here.
Testing
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you are in the source directory after running make, the following
commands should work:
$ echo "Skryf" | apertium -d . afr-deu
Schreiben
$ echo "Schreiben" | apertium -d . deu-afr
Skryf
After installing somewhere in `$PATH`, you should be able to do e.g.
$ echo "Nodig" | apertium -d . afr-deu
Brauchen
