It's almost entirely done in CG. And yes, it involves writing a lot of
rules. E.g., for Danish, we have around 5400 morphology rules and 6400
syntactical rules. But that has grown organically over 10+ years. You can
achieve really good results with a few hundred rules, and then build on
those as you find exceptions and special cases.
But what Apertium could also use (and can be done with CG), are dependency
trees and semantics. You may not be able to unambiguously translate the
Danish https://da.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marsvin , but you can if you know
whether it's 'marsvin (whale)' vs 'marsvin (rodent)', which you can
determine from source language context.
