Northern Sámi and Norwegian Bokmål

                            apertium-sme-nob
===============================================================================

This is an Apertium language pair for translating between Northern
Sámi and Norwegian Bokmål. What you can use this language package for:

* Translating from Northern Sámi to Norwegian Bokmål
* Morphological analysis of Northern Sámi
* Part-of-speech tagging of Northern Sámi

For information on the latter two points, see subheading "For more
information" below. For analysis and POS-tagging of Bokmål, see
http://wiki.apertium.org/wiki/apertium-nno-nob

Requirements
===============================================================================

You will need the following software installed:

* lttoolbox (>= 3.1.2)
* apertium (>= 3.1.1)
* vislcg3 (>= 0.9.7.8188)
* foma (last tested with SVN revision 49)
* hfst3 (last tested with SVN revision 2174, configured with
  ./configure --enable-lexc --enable-proc --with-foma)

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

Compiling
===============================================================================

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

$ ./configure 
$ make
# make install

You can use ./autogen.sh instead of ./configure if you're compiling
from SVN. If you're using a --prefix to ./configure or ./autogen.sh,
make sure it's the same one you used to install apertium itself.

Testing
===============================================================================

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

$ echo "Mus lea oahpahus gaskkal guovtti ja njealji" | apertium -d . sme-nob
Jeg har undervisning mellom to og fire 

The following commands run tests which are on the Apertium wiki page:

$ sh regression-tests.sh 

$ sh pending-tests.sh
