Apertium linguistic data for Occitan

Occitan (apertium-oci)

This is an Apertium monolingual language package for Occitan. What you can use this language package for:

• Morphological analysis of Occitan
• Morphological generation of Occitan ** Generation of Aranese ** Generation of Gascon ** Generation of Lenguadocian
• Part-of-speech tagging of Occitan

Requirements

You will need the following software installed:

• lttoolbox (>= 3.3.0)
• apertium (>= 3.3.0)
• vislcg3 (>= 0.9.9.10297)

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

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

If you're doing development, you don't have to install the data, you can use it directly from this directory.

If you are installing this language package as a prerequisite for an Apertium translation pair, then do (typically as root / with sudo):

# make install

You can give a --prefix to ./configure to install as a non-root user, but make sure to use the same prefix when installing the translation pair and any other language packages.

Testing

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

$  echo "TODO: test sentence" | apertium -d . oci-morph
TODO: test analysis result

$ echo "TODO: test sentence" | apertium -d . oci-tagger
TODO: test tagger result

apertium-oci's Issues

Installed modes are missing files

modes.xml includes some modes with install="yes", but the required
files aren't installed.

Some generic suggestions:

• -lexc and -twol modes probably aren't useful to users

• -spell modes should depend on --enable-ospell

• .deps files are never installed, so any modes using them shouldn't be
  installed.

• Messages for package app-dicts/apertium-oci-9999:

• Failed to find '/usr/share/apertium/apertium-oci/oci.zhfst' in install image.

• QA: missing files required for mode oci-spell.

• Failed to find '/usr/share/apertium/apertium-oci/.deps/acceptor.default.hfst' in install image.

• QA: missing files required for mode oci-tokenise.

texts/Makefile

The Makefile does not generate a proper prob-file. I do the following:
In apertium-oci:
cp texts/oci.unigram.prob oci.prob
In apertium-oci-fra

make
echo "pròva" | apertium -d . oci-fra

There isn't any answer to the last command.

Author "Apertium <capsot>"

One of the committers is simply Apertium <capsot>. That's not good enough.

I can rewrite the history to say the correct author Rata Penada <[email protected]> or something else, but @Capsot you must also correct your git config so future commits are not from an almost anonymous source.

And after I correct the history, everyone must re-clone the repo.

Install fails on apertium-oci.oci.dix

make install complains about missing apertium-oci.oci.dix. I can see there is a metadix instead, but dunno how this should be fixed.
