Awesome! Thanks for the advice (Flammie and Sushain). To be honest, I'm
still not 100% sure on this. The command above seems a little unintuitive
to me (perhaps because of the pipes :) ). It seems like I would have to
have some deep knowledge of Apertium to reverse engineer that myself.
Perhaps after more study I'll understand it better. In any event, I was
wondering whether or not Apertium can really meet my needs and it sounds
like it can. You have given good advice for me moving forward, and even
provided some examples. I will try what you suggest.
Thanks again for taking the time to point me in the right direction.
