NAME¶
make-lingua-identify-language - creates language modules for Lingua::Identify
SYNOPSIS¶
make-lingua-identify-language Language-Tag Language-Name file1 [file2 ...]
or
make-lingua-identify-language -d TAG1-LANGUAGE1/ [TAG2-LANGUAGE2/ ...]
or
make-lingua-identify
DESCRIPTION¶
Creates language modules to be used by Lingua::Identify.
After creating the modules, you still have to install them.
Please note that this script is still at an early stage. Please do not even look
at the code...
Without parameters, make-lingua-identify-language assumes mode -d and goes
through all the directories in the current one. This is useful to be used in a
directory where you something like this:
.
|-- en-english
| `-- english.txt
|-- fr-french
| `-- french1.txt
| `-- french2.txt
`-- pt-portuguese
`-- portuguese.txt
OPTIONS¶
Directory mode. Each parameter passed should be a directory whose name must be
of the form tag-name (e.g., en-english/ ). Each of the directories passed
should contain text files that can be used to train Lingua::Identify.
Debug mode. Only for development.
Display help and exit.
Show version and exit.
-verbose¶
Verbose mode.
-locale="<locale>"¶
Set a specific locale. This way your text will be all lowercased before
analysed.
"META.yml" files are not parsed as other files, they are ignored.
In directory mode ("-d" switch), "META.yml" files are
checked for info on languages codes and sets.
Here's a simple "META.yml" for you to put in your directories:
two_letter_code: pt
three_letter_code: por
sets:
spoken_in_portugal
With that, the language will be identified with the two letter code
"pt" or the three letter code "por"; it will also be in
the set ":spoken_in_portugal".
CONTRIBUTING WITH NEW LANGUAGES¶
Please do not contribute with modules you made yourself. It's easier to
contribute with unprocessed text, because that allows for new versions of
Lingua::Identify not having to drop languages down in case I can't contact you
by that time.
Use
make-lingua-identify-language to create a new module for your own
personal use, if you must, but try to contribute with unprocessed text rather
than those modules.
