===============================================================================

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

* Translating between Basaa and btc
* Morphological analysis of Basaa and btc
* Part-of-speech tagging of Basaa and btc

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

Requirements
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You will need the following software installed:

* lttoolbox (>= 3.3.0)
* apertium (>= 3.3.0)
* vislcg3 (>= 0.9.9.10297)
* hfst (>= 3.8.2)
* apertium-bas
* apertium-btc

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
source. If you installed any prerequisite language packages using a `--prefix`
to `./configure`, make sure to give the same `--prefix` to `./configure` here.

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

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

    $  echo "TODO test sentence 1" | apertium -d . bas-btc
    TODO test translated sentence 1

    $ echo "TODO test sentence 2" | apertium -d . btc-bas
    TODO test translated sentence 2

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

    $  echo "TODO test sentence 1" | apertium bas-btc
    TODO test translated sentence 1
