Requirements
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You will need the following software installed:
* lttoolbox (>= 3.3.0)
* apertium (>= 3.3.0)
* vislcg3 (>= 0.9.9.10297)
* hfst (>= 3.8.2)

Compiling
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Given the requirements being installed, you should be able to just run:
```console
$ ./configure
$ make
# make install
```
You can use `./autogen.sh` instead of `./configure` in case you're compiling
from source. If you installed any prerequisite language packages using a
`--prefix` with `./configure`, make sure to use the same `--prefix` when running
`./configure` here.
Testing
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you are in the source directory after running make, the following
commands should work:
```console
$ echo "TODO test sentence 1" | apertium -d . swa-lin
TODO test translated sentence 1
$ echo "TODO test sentence 2" | apertium -d . lin-swa
TODO test translated sentence 2
```
After installing somewhere in `$PATH`, you should be able to do e.g.
```console
$ echo "TODO test sentence 1" | apertium swa-lin
TODO test translated sentence 1
```
