Hi Fran,
Wow, thanks for the helpful instructions and quick reply! It looks like it
will do exactly what I need. I'll give it a try.
As for what I am intending to use the output for, I'm looking into creating
a translation dictionary for a certain platform. It would be
sold commercially, but I would follow the GPL license rules of course. If
it's profitable, then I'd be happy to give back to the Apertium community
by sponsoring work or contributing in some other way.
Thanks!
Steve
