And here is how to find out whether the server works: first of all, if it outputs "Listening on port 12345" at the end of startup, then usually this means the server is working. Testing translations is not done from the command line, because the point of using Mosesserver is that clients request translations with XML-RPC. You test it by writing a few lines of code in your favourite programming language that, preferably, has an XML-RPC library. In Python, for example, the code could look like *# the Python implementation of XML-RPC* *import xmlrpclib* *# if the client is on the same machine and the --server-port is 12345* *url = 'http://localhost:12345/RPC2 <http://localhost:12345/RPC2>'* *# verbose prints the actual XML-RPC request and answer, have a look* *server = xmlrpclib.ServerProxy(url, verbose=True)* *# request the translation of a single sentence* *server.translate({"text": "das ist ein kleines haus")* Regards Mathias — Mathias Müller AND-2-20 Institute of Computational Linguistics University of Zurich +41 44 635 75 81 [email protected] > I haven’t tried the perl client script yet.
