Hi all,
while its not about reporting bad translations, but about lowering the
access barrier to contribute on dictionaries, we have a tool that tries to
simplify the process of inserting words in the dictionaries.
It follows a simple workflow: dictionaries (and config files) get uploaded,
some words get added, and the dictionaries get exported, either as a whole
or as a diff patch.
There are some problems with the tool, namely
- no metadix support
- it can only insert one kind of Apertium dictionary node
- configuration file generation needs a total rework
- patch download uses gnu diff format. Ideally, it should use a git-like
diff format that can be easily merged by a dev
There is a description of how the tool works at
http://wiki.apertium.org/wiki/User:Dtr5, and you can download it from
http://sourceforge.net/p/apertium/svn/HEAD/tree/trunk/apertium-simpledix/ and
set it up in your local linux machine.
While I haven't looked at it since I "released" it late 2012, I think its
possible to continue working on it if there is interest on this kind of
tool.
Also, there used to be a live version of the tool in
http://apertium.vm.bytemark.co.uk/simpledix, but it is no longer working.
Can somebody with access rights have a look at it?
Thank you.
