Hi Jim,
For the Antara website, I think most of their stories are not translations
(more like comparable than parallel). But I believe there are some of them
that are direct translations. Actually it will be good if Bitextor can use
some linguistic information (like bilingual dictionary) during the
alignment process. :) For now, I will just try running Bitextor on that
site and see the results.
Per Tunedal: I checked out the source code from the repository at
SourceForge:
svn co https://bitextor.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/bitextor bitextor
Then I compiled the source files in trunk directory.
Regards,
Raymond
