German and Dutch

                            apertium-deu-nld
===============================================================================

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

* Translating between German and Dutch
* Morphological analysis of German and Dutch
* Part-of-speech tagging of German and Dutch

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

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

You will need the following software installed:

* lttoolbox (>= 3.1.2)
* apertium (>= 3.1.1)

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
# make install

You can use ./autogen.sh instead of ./configure you're compiling from
SVN. If you're using a --prefix to ./configure, 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 "Mein Luftkissenfahrzeug ist voller Aale" | apertium -d . deu-nld
#Mijn *Luftkissenfahrzeug is #vol #aal~

$ echo "Mijn luchtkussenboot zit vol paling" | apertium -d . nld-deu
Meine Luft Kissen Boot @zit #voll @paling~

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

$ echo "Mein Luftkissenfahrzeug ist voller Aale" | apertium deu-nld
#Mijn *Luftkissenfahrzeug is @voll #aal~

There are no regression tests yet.
