Maltese and Hebrew (`apertium-mlt-heb`)
===============================================================================

This is an Apertium language pair for translating between Maltese
and Hebrew. It is a work in progress!


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: www.apertium.org


Compiling
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

```bash
$ ./configure 
$ make
$ make install
```

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


Testing
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

```bash
$ echo "ara" | apertium -d . mlt-heb
רואה
```

After installing somewhere in `$PATH`, you should be able to do eg.

```bash
$ echo "ara" | apertium mlt-heb
רואה
```

The following command runs tests which are on the Apertium wiki page:

```bash
$ ./regression-tests.sh 
```
