Agreed, direction eng-hbs doesn't look good. Direction hbs-eng looks much better.
It is clear from https://github.com/apertium/apertium-hbs-eng/tree/master/texts that this pair was developed with hbs-eng in mind, and eng-hbs probably shouldn't have been published. And https://github.com/apertium/apertium-hbs-eng/blob/master/modes.xml corroborates this with the comment that eng-hbs was only installed for debugging. If you wish to work on the eng-hbs performance, Apertium is always looking for new contributors (OFTC #apertium). As for this bug, I think best I can do in the short term is remove the eng-hbs direction. (The PR (now merged) was just comments, so it couldn't affect quality.) -- Tino Didriksen On Fri, 6 Jan 2023 at 13:57, Peter Blackman <[email protected]> wrote: > Package: apertium-hbs-eng > Version: 0.5.1-2.1 > Severity: normal > Tags: upstream > X-Debbugs-Cc: [email protected] > > Dear Maintainer, > > Translating a short test file using the language pair eng-hbs; > > Mary had a little lamb. > It's fleece was white as snow. > > > gave the result > > #Marica #ima @a little @lamb. > #Free #biti *fleece #biti @white @as #snijeg#. > > > Problems shown on every word except 'little' was is not translated anyway! > > > Translating with eng-spa & eng-cat works well. > > > The command 'apertium -l' shows many Eastern European language pairs with > Serbian, Croatian, Bosnian, Bulgarian, Slovenian, Macedonian. > But the only way into this group from English, is via eng-hbs, > hence my interest. > > > Regards, > Peter > > P.S. > Upstream there is an outstanding three year old pull request. > https://github.com/apertium/apertium-hbs-eng/pulls > > I tried patching this in, but it did not fix the problem. >
