Hello,
I'm looking to hire/sponsor a developer that is familiar with Apertium
dix/metadix formats. I hope it's ok to post this request here. I'd be
happy to have the resulting work put under the GPL (or similar open source
license) and contributed back to Apertium. Perhaps as part of dixtools or
as a new feature?
Here is what I need, a program that can read a bilingual dictionary (dix or
metadix?) and output all the word pair translations, including all the
conjugations, inflected forms, plurals, etc. (any possible variations on
the words) that are available in the dictionary for the left side. I've
looked around in the dixtools and lttoolbox and I don't see anything that
does this, but maybe I've missed it?
This command is pretty close to what I need:
"apertium-dixtools list pairs"
But it doesn't seem to do the inflected forms. If I understand things
correctly, this should be possible by making use of the paradigms in the
mono dictionaries.
Here's a quick example of what I need for the Spanish verb "tener":
tengo /to have
tienes/to have
tiene/to have
tenemos/to have
teneis/to have
tienen/to have
Plus all the other conjugations that are in the the mono dictionary
paradigm (future, imperfect, etc.) If someone knows how to do this with
the current tools please let me know!
If nothing currently exists, then adding to dixtools in Java might make the
most sense. I personally prefer to work in Python, but I'd be open to any
language.
If you're interested in working on this feature please post a reply or
email me directly with your interest and a proposal (just a quick outline
of how you'd do this, costs, etc.)
Best Regards,
Steve Rawlinson
