What error?
Always post compile error messages.
The correct thing in this case would be
<e> <p><l>inte<s n="adv"/></l> <r>ikke<s
n="adv"/></r></p></e>
<e r="LR"> <p><l>icke<s n="adv"/></l> <r>ikke<s
n="adv"/></r></p></e>
<e slr="1" r="RL"><p><l>icke<s n="adv"/></l> <r>ikke<s
n="adv"/></r></p></e>
But as the 'slr' attribute is ignored, this ends up being the same as the
current:
<e> <p><l>inte<s n="adv"/></l> <r>ikke<s
n="adv"/></r></p></e>
<e> <p><l>icke<s n="adv"/></l> <r>ikke<s
n="adv"/></r></p></e>
Therefore I suggest that you, for now, just do:
<e> <p><l>inte<s n="adv"/></l> <r>ikke<s
n="adv"/></r></p></e>
<e r="LR"> <p><l>icke<s n="adv"/></l> <r>ikke<s
n="adv"/></r></p></e>
and dont add alternative one-to-many translations.
Perhaps Jimmy og Francis could correct me, but I think the 'slr' attribute
was made for the old Lextor <http://wiki.apertium.org/wiki/Lextor> which
noone uses.
Still it has been mentioned recently
http://wiki.apertium.eu/index.php/Session_4:_Lexical_transfer
2.1 One to
one<http://wiki.apertium.eu/index.php/Session_4:_Lexical_transfer#One_to_one>
2.2 Many to
one<http://wiki.apertium.eu/index.php/Session_4:_Lexical_transfer#Many_to_one>
2.3 One to
many<http://wiki.apertium.eu/index.php/Session_4:_Lexical_transfer#One_to_many>
2.4 Many to
many<http://wiki.apertium.eu/index.php/Session_4:_Lexical_transfer#Many_to_many>
The last 2 are really called 'lexical selection' and can be done in at
least 3 different ways in Apertium.
All in all:
*Per: Stick to one-to-one and many-to-one translations for now. *
And make a list of the 10 most important one-to-many translations (=lexical
selection). When we have that list we will see what is the best approach do
doing lexical selection in da-sv and do something about it together. I'd
need help from Francis/Jimmy/Unhammer on the best approach (which would
probably also be the best approach in other Nordic languages)
