Tamil: apertium-tam

This is an Apertium monolingual language package for Tamil. What you can use this language package for:

  • Morphological analysis of Tamil
  • Morphological generation of Tamil
  • Part-of-speech tagging of Tamil

Requirements

You will need the following software installed:

  • lttoolbox (>= 3.3.0)
  • apertium (>= 3.3.0)
  • vislcg3 (>= 0.9.9.10297)
  • hfst (>= 3.8.2)

If this does not make any sense, we recommend you look at: apertium.org.

Compiling

Given the requirements being installed, you should be able to just run:

$ ./configure
$ make

You can use ./autogen.sh instead of ./configure if you're compiling from source.

If you're doing development, you don't have to install the data, you can use it directly from this directory.

If you are installing this language package as a prerequisite for an Apertium translation pair, then do (typically as root / with sudo):

$ make install

You can use a --prefix with ./configure to install as a non-root user, but make sure to use the same prefix when installing the translation pair and any other language packages.

Testing

If you are in the source directory after running make, the following commands should work:

$ echo "TODO: சோதனை வசனம்" | apertium -d . tam-morph
^TODO/*TODO$: ^சோதனை/சோதனை<n><sg><nom>$ ^வசனம்/வசனம்<n><sg><nom>$

$ echo "TODO: சோதனை வசனம்" | apertium -d . tam-tagger
^TODO/*TODO$: ^சோதனை/சோதனை<n><sg><nom>$ ^வசனம்/வசனம்<n><sg><nom>$
