Occitan and French (apertium-oci-fra)

This is an Apertium language pair for translating between (Languedocian and Gascon) Occitan and French. What you can use this language package for:

• Translating between (Languedocian and Gascon) Occitan and French
• Morphological analysis of (Languedocian and Gascon) Occitan and French
• Part-of-speech tagging of (Languedocian and Gascon) Occitan and French

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-oci
• apertium-fra

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 --with-lang1=../apertium-oci --with-lang2=../apertium-fra
$ make
# make install

You should change ../apertium-oci and ../apertium-fra to the paths of the apertium-oci and apertium-fra repositories, respectively, if they have different relative paths in your installation.

You can use ./autogen.sh instead of ./configure you're compiling from SVN. 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:

Translation from French into Languedocian Occitan:

$ echo "Apertium est un logiciel de traduction automatique" | apertium -d . fra-oci
Apertium es un logicial de traduccion automatica

Translation from French into Gascon Occitan:

$ echo "Apertium est un logiciel de traduction automatique" | apertium -d . fra-oci_gascon
Apertium qu'ei un logiciau de traduccion automatica

Translation from Languedocian Occitan into French:

$  echo "Apertium es un logicial de traduccion automatica" | apertium -d . oci-fra
Apertium est un logiciel de traduction automatique

Translation from Gascon Occitan into French:

$  echo "Apertium qu'ei un logiciau de traduccion automatica" | apertium -d . oci_gascon-fra
Apertium est un logiciel de traduction automatique

After installing somewhere in $PATH, you should be able to do e.g.

$ echo "Apertium est un logiciel de traduction automatique" | apertium fra-oci
Apertium es un logicial de traduccion automatica
