Kazakh and Uzbek: apertium-kaz-uzb

This is an Apertium language pair for translating between Kazakh and Uzbek. What you can use this language package for:

• Translating between Kazakh and Uzbek
• Morphological analysis of Kazakh and Uzbek
• Part-of-speech tagging of Kazakh and Uzbek

For information on the latter two points, see subheading "For more information" below.

Requirements

You will need the following software installed:

• autoconf
• automake
• pkg-config
• lttoolbox (>= 3.5.1)
• apertium (>= 3.6.1)
• vislcg3 (>= 1.3.1)
• hfst (>= 3.15.1)
• apertium-kaz
• apertium-uzb

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

Compiling

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

$ autoreconf -fvi
$ ./configure
$ make
# make install

You can use ./autogen.sh instead of autoreconf and ./configure in case you're compiling from source. If you installed any prerequisite language packages using a --prefix with ./configure, make sure to use the same --prefix when running ./configure here.

If any of this doesn't make sense or doesn't work, see https://wiki.apertium.org/wiki/Install_language_data_by_compiling

Testing

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

$ echo "Жылдам қоңыр түлкі жалқау иттің үстінен секірді" | apertium -d . kaz-uzb
Ildam qoʻngʻir tulki dangasa itning ustidan sakrab oʻtdi

$ echo "Ildam qoʻngʻir tulki dangasa itning ustidan sakrab oʻtdi" | apertium -d . uzb-kaz
Жылдам қоңыр түлкі жалқау иттің үстінен секірді

After installing somewhere in $PATH, you should be able to do e.g.

$ echo "Жылдам қоңыр түлкі жалқау иттің үстінен секірді" | apertium kaz-uzb
Ildam qoʻngʻir tulki dangasa itning ustidan sakrab oʻtdi
