Ladin and Italian: apertium-lld-ita

This is an Apertium language pair for translating between Ladin and Italian. What you can use this language package for:

• Translating between Ladin and Italian
• Morphological analysis of Ladin and Italian
• Part-of-speech tagging of Ladin and Italian

For information on the latter two points, see subheading "For more information" below.

Requirements

You will need the following software installed:

• autoconf
• automake
• pkg-config
• lttoolbox (>= 3.5.1)
• apertium (>= 3.6.1)
• vislcg3 (>= 1.3.1)
• apertium-lld
• apertium-ita

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:

$ autoreconf -fvi
$ ./configure
$ make
# make install

You can use ./autogen.sh instead of autoreconf and ./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.

If any of this doesn't make sense or doesn't work, see https://wiki.apertium.org/wiki/Install_language_data_by_compiling

Testing

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

$ echo "la usc é stancia" | apertium -d . lld-ita
la #tono è stanca

$ echo "le pom é aje" | apertium -d . ita-lld
TODO test translated sentence 2

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

$ echo "TODO test sentence 1" | apertium lld-ita
TODO test translated sentence 1
