True!

I have already told you, but in a way that not apparent. Sorry for that.
Here I'll try to explain what happens and where the problems are.
Dansk til svensk virker ikke
-> (Analysis of all possible interpretations of the words using Danish
monidict. Works OK.)
^Dansk/Dansk<adj><pst><un><sg><ind>/Dansk<n><nt><sg><ind><nom>$
^til/til<adv>/til<pr>/til<cnjadv>$
^svensk/svensk<adj><pst><un><sg><ind>/svensk<n><nt><sg><ind><nom>$
^virker/virke<vblex><pres><actv>$ ^ikke/ikke<adv>$
-> (tagging, ie choosing which one of the possible interpretations of a
word is the correct one. Probably broken as the tagger hasnt been trained
on a Danish corpus)
^Dansk<n><nt><sg><ind><nom>$ ^til<pr>$ ^svensk<n><nt><sg><ind><nom>$
^virke<vblex><pres><actv>$ ^ikke<adv>$
-> transfer and use of bilingual da-sv dictionary. Broken as 1) *'ikke'
maps to both icke and inte* and 2) and *'virke' is not found in the
bilingual dictionary*.
^Danska<n><ut><sg><ind><nom>$ ^till<pr>$ ^svenska<n><ut><sg><ind><nom>$
^@virke<vblex><pres><actv>$ *^icke<adv>/inte<adv>*$
-> generation of Swedish text. Probably OK.
Danska till svenska \@virke #icke
You should really take a look with Apertium-viewer.
*As da - sv unfortunately has been disabled as its not production-ready,
you have to download the pair from SVN and compile it first*.
Mikel, I think Per is a perfect example of why unreleased pairs should also
be available for download: Using the easy tools is the best way for a
potential contributor to be able to judge the existing work.

It would be perfect if you could work a little on improving da->sv to get
easy experience, and then shift to your main goal.
I and Francis were the mentors for sv->da and we'd be happy to answer all
questions. If you pass Copenhagen then we could also meet in person to get
you up and running.
