APERTIUM(1) General Commands Manual APERTIUM(1) NAME apertium -- machine translation application platform SYNOPSIS apertium [-au] [-d datadir] [-f format] language-pair [infile [outfile]] DESCRIPTION apertium is the application that most people will be using as it sim- plifies the use of apertium/lt-toolbox tools for machine translation purposes. This tool tries to ease the use of lt-toolbox (which contains all the lexical processing modules and tools) and apertium (which contains the rest of the engine) by providing a unique front-end to the end-user. The different modules behind the apertium machine translation architec- ture are in order: de-formatter Separates the text to be translated from the format informa- tion. morphological-analyser Tokenizes the text in surface forms. part-of-speech tagger Chooses one surface forms among homographs. lexical transfer module Reads each source-language lexical form and delivers a corre- sponding target-language lexical form. structural transfer module Detects fixed-length patterns of lexical forms (chunks or phrases) needing special processing due to grammatical diver- gences between the two languages and performs the corresponding transformations. morphological generator Delivers a target-language surface form for each target-lan- guage lexical form, by suitably inflecting it. post-generator Performs orthographical operations such as contractions and apostrophations. re-formatter Restores the format information encapsulated by the de-format- ter into the translated text and removes the encapsulation se- quences used to protect certain characters in the source text. OPTIONS -d datadir The directory holding the linguistic data. By default it will use the expected installation path. language-pair The language pair: LANG1-LANG2 (for instance "es-ca" or "ca-es"). -f format Specifies the format of the input and output files which can have these values: txt (default value) Input and output files are in text for- mat. html Input and output files are in "html" format. This "html" is the one accepted by the vast majority of web browsers. html-noent Input and output files are in "html" format, but pre- serving native encoding characters rather than using HTML text entities. rtf Input and output files are in "rtf" format. The ac- cepted "rtf" is the one generated by Microsoft WordPad and Microsoft Office up to and including Office 97. -u Disable marking of unknown words with the `*' character. -H Enable header-detection (only used in some language pairs; will lead to stray `' characters in pairs that don't support it). -a Enable marking of disambiguated words with the `=' character. FILES These are the two files that can be used with this command: -m memory.tmx use a translation memory to recycle translations -o direction translation direction using the translation memory, by default "direction" is used instead -l lists the available translation directions and exits direction typically, LANG1-LANG2, but see modes.xml in language data infile Input file (stdin by default). outfile Output file (stdout by default).
