Apertium translation pair for Northern Sámi and Norwegian Bokmål

README

Northern Sámi and Norwegian Bokmål

                            apertium-sme-nob
===============================================================================

This is an Apertium language pair for translating between Northern
Sámi and Norwegian Bokmål. What you can use this language package for:

* Translating from Northern Sámi to Norwegian Bokmål
* Morphological analysis of Northern Sámi
* Part-of-speech tagging of Northern Sámi

For information on the latter two points, see subheading "For more
information" below. For analysis and POS-tagging of Bokmål, see
https://wiki.apertium.org/wiki/apertium-nno-nob

Requirements
===============================================================================

You will need the following software installed:

* lttoolbox (>= 3.1.2)
* apertium (>= 3.1.1)
* vislcg3 (>= 0.9.7.8188)
* foma (last tested with SVN revision 49)
* hfst3 (last tested with SVN revision 2174, configured with
  ./configure --enable-lexc --enable-proc --with-foma)

If this does not make any sense, we recommend you look at: wiki.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 if you're compiling
from SVN. If you're using a --prefix to ./configure or ./autogen.sh,
make sure it's the same one you used to install apertium itself.

Testing
===============================================================================

If you are in the source directory after running make, the following
commands should work:

$ echo "Mus lea oahpahus gaskkal guovtti ja njealji" | apertium -d . sme-nob
Jeg har undervisning mellom to og fire 

The following commands run tests which are on the Apertium wiki page:

$ sh regression-tests.sh 

$ sh pending-tests.sh

  abstract: "We describe the development and evaluation of a rule-based machine translation (MT) assimilation system from North Śami to Norwegian Bokmål, built on a combination of Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) resources: the Apertium platform and the Giellatekno HFST lexicon and Constraint Grammar disambiguator. We detail the integration of these and other resources in the system along with the construction of the lexical and structural transfer, and evaluate the translation quality using various methods, focusing on evaluating the users’ comprehension of the text. Finally, some future work is suggested."
