Hi Prasanta,
I'm delighted you are working on Santali.
I have seen your code in github, and I have seen nothing that could
generate this kind of error. So, I downloaded your code, I fixed the
eng-sat.t1x file because it has a syntactic error, and I ran the
translation of "cows"... but I can't get anything, seemingly because of a
problem in the postchunk module (although it is standard):
$ echo "cow" | apertium -d . eng-sat-interchunk
^ᱰᱟᱹᱝᱜᱽᱨᱤ<sg>$^sent<SENT>{^᱾<sent>$}$
$ echo "cow" | apertium -d . eng-sat-postchunk
^᱾<sent>$
In any case, if you somehow get something of the type "X/Y" (like "ᱰᱟᱹᱝᱜᱽᱨᱤ
ᱠᱤᱱ/ ᱰᱟᱹᱝᱜᱽᱨᱤ ᱠᱚ") this is because in the target dictionary there are two
generations for ᱰᱟᱹᱝᱜᱽᱨᱤ<n><pl>. Probably you have:
<pardef n="ᱰᱟᱹᱝᱜᱽᱨᱤ__n">
<e> <p><l></l> <r><s n="n"/><s n="sg"/></r></p></e>
<e> <p><l>ᱠᱤᱱ</l> <r><s n="n"/><s n="*pl*"/></r></p></e>
<e> <p><l>ᱠᱚ</l> <r><s n="n"/><s n="pl"/></r></p></e>
</pardef>
instead of:
<pardef n="ᱰᱟᱹᱝᱜᱽᱨᱤ__n">
<e> <p><l></l> <r><s n="n"/><s n="sg"/></r></p></e>
<e> <p><l>ᱠᱤᱱ</l> <r><s n="n"/><s n="du"/></r></p></e>
<e> <p><l>ᱠᱚ</l> <r><s n="n"/><s n="pl"/></r></p></e>
</pardef>
Regards,
Hèctor
