Finnish and German: apertium-fin-deu

This is an Apertium language pair for translating between Finnish and German. What you can use this language package for:

  • Translating between Finnish and German
  • Morphological analysis of Finnish and German
  • Part-of-speech tagging of Finnish and German

For information on the latter two points, see subheading "For more information" below.

The word-form translations are manually inputted with some data scraped from wiktionary and verified by hand.

Requirements

You will need the following software installed:

  • autoconf
  • automake
  • pkg-config
  • lttoolbox (>= 3.5.1)
  • apertium (>= 3.6.1)
  • vislcg3 (>= 1.3.1)
  • hfst (>= 3.15.1)
  • apertium-fin
  • apertium-deu

If this does not make any sense, we recommend you look at: apertium.org.

Compiling

Given the requirements being installed, you should be able to just run:

$ autoreconf -fvi
$ ./configure
$ make
# make install

You can use ./autogen.sh instead of autoreconf and ./configure in case you're compiling from source. If you installed any prerequisite language packages using a --prefix with ./configure, make sure to use the same --prefix when running ./configure here.

If any of this doesn't make sense or doesn't work, see https://wiki.apertium.org/wiki/Install_language_data_by_compiling

Testing

If you are in the source directory after running make, the following commands should work:

$ echo "talo" | apertium -d . fin-deu
Haus

$ echo "Haus" | apertium -d . deu-fin
talo

After installing somewhere in $PATH, you should be able to do e.g.

$ echo "talo" | apertium fin-deu
Haus
