Overview

This is a machine translation system that translates between subsets of English and Italian using an interlingua-based approach.

Compilation

To compile the system, simply run

$ make

from the base directory. Required dependencies: gf, ghc

To undo compilation, run

$ make clean

from the base directory.

Running

To run the system, first run

$ source translateAliases.sh

from the base directory. Then to translate from English to Italian, run

$ eng2ita "your sentence in quotes"

from any directory. Similarly, to translate from Italian to English, run

$ ita2eng "la tua frase tra virgolette"

from any directory.

Note that source translateAliases.sh must be run before eng2ita or ita2eng can be used for each new terminal session. This is in contrast with make, which only needs to be run once.

Documentation

Documentation of the system, including what linguistic constructions the system does and does not support, can be found in the Documentation/ directory.
