Thanks for the reply.
Yeah i've gone through the whole "how to" stuff. I've also found the "How it
works" section in the apertium wiki doc. The apertium concept looks great to
me!
I succesfully ran the "apertium-en-es" to do some check with simple spanish
and compare the results with google translator. It was fine. Well, with
works done so far for "bn-en" i've been able to compile the monolingual and
bilingual dictionaries and got some successful morphological analysis like
"বাংলা" to
"^বাংলা/বাংলা<adj><mf>/বাংলা<n><mf><nn><sg><nom>/বাংলা<n><mf><nn><sg><obj>$".
Well, i found some duplicate/multiples entries in the bilingual dictionary
(apertium-bn-en.bn-en.dix), say, for "বিজ্ঞাপন" there are both
"advertisement" and "advertising". How these are resolved ?
I was wondering how could i run some successful transfers with the existing
rules in bn-en? Well, there's a lot of work to be done on that part as you
mentioned. And i think, as the two languages are not closely related, it
will be a challenging task to figure out the necessary transfer rules. Now
i'm checking the apertium doc for some details.
I am available as 'ragib' in irc #apertium.
