Dear Alfonso,
thanks for your interest in Apertium English–Spanish.
Yes, whenever you add an entry to apertium-en-es.en-es.dix, you have to
make sure the corresponding monolingual entries are in
apertium.en-es.en.dix and apertium.en-es.es.dix.
One thing that has to be taken into account is that apertium-en-es is an
"old-style" langauge pair in that it contains its own monolingual
dictionaries. Some language pairs are being migrated to "new-style"
language pairs that contain only bilingual data and depend on
monolingual packages. They are usually identifiable because they use
three-letter codes. If you are going to massively add entries to the
monolingual dictionaries, it might be interesting to see if you could
also enrich the existing standalone monolingual dictionaries in
svn://svn.code.sf.net/p/apertium/svn/languages .
I am not so knowledgeable about adding supplementary files. I will let
someone else in the list reply.
As regards becoming a committer, I am forwarding your request to the
project management committee for approval.
All the best
Mikel

Hello,
I’m Alfonso Tienda. I’m developing an application to extract clinical
information from clinical text, based in NLP. My lingua franca of
processing is English, and the rest of the languages work by translation.
My interest is to improve the dictionary (first improving es-en
dictionary) with health-related terms (and maybe abbreviatures).
I began cloning the repo: svn checkout
svn://svn.code.sf.net/p/apertium/svn/trunk/apertium-en-es
The ‘trasnlation’ is in the apertium-en-es.en-es.dix file, and I
understand I need monolinguals in apertium-en-es.es.dix and
apertium-en-es.en.metadix
That’s right?
How can I contribute to the official project?
May I create some kind of “supplementary” files like
apertium-en-es.en-es-suplementary.dix (to make my changes without
altering base dicts) ?
Thanks a lot!
Alfonso
