You don't need to learn AWK :) Of course, AWK can be very *useful* to
learn, but you can manage perfectly well without it. You do need to
learn some XML, but mostly it's very simple.

I see the page
http://wiki.apertium.org/wiki/Apertium_New_Language_Pair_HOWTO has a
little awk/gawk script. This script just pretends to do what the program
apertium-tagger does (http://wiki.apertium.org/wiki/Apertium-tagger);
you wouldn't use it in a real language pair though. The reason it's used
in the HOWTO is just that making the data to run apertium-tagger is a
whole other job...
