wordworks

WordWorks is a machine translation project, using BabelNet.

Install

WordWorks consists of many sub-projects. Each of them must be built separately.

WordWorks Java

• First download BabelNet version 2.5, API and index, and also download WordNet 3.0.
• Copy wordworks-java into your Eclipse workspace.
• Copy config and resources from BabelNet API project into wordworks-java.
• Extract BabelNet index.
• Set babelnet.dir in config/babelnet.var.properties to your BabelNet index directory.
• Set jlt.wordnetPrefix in config/jlit.var.properties to your WordNet directory address, without its version. (You can find more instructions in the file.)
• Now you're good to go. You can run examples with Eclipse, or build the project with Maven.

WordWorks PHP

First way, is easiest when you just want to use the code.

• Copy files in wordworks-php into a folder in your Apache HTTP Server working directory, e.g. wordworks-ui in htdocs for XAMPP.
• Start your Apache Server.
• Open your browser and go to 127.0.0.1/wordworks-ui/wordcloud.php.
• Now you're good to go.

If you want to develop too, it is easier to do this. For Windows, we assume that your project directory is B:/Documents/Dev/Git/git/wordworks.

• Go to xampp/apache/conf/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf.

• Uncomment line 19 (NameVirtualHost *:80).

• Uncomment the block starting at line ~36, and change it to this:

   <VirtualHost *:80>
   	DocumentRoot "B:/Documents/Dev/Git/git/wordworks"
   	ServerName wordworks.localhost
   	<Directory B:/Documents/Dev/Git/git/wordworks>
   		Order allow,deny
   		Allow from all
   	</Directory>
   </VirtualHost>
  

• Save it.

• Go to Windows/System32/drivers/etc/hosts.

• Add 127.0.0.1 wordworks.localhost to the end of file (before the Spybot - Search & Destroy stuff if you have that installed).

• Save it. (You might have to save it to the desktop, change the permissions on the old hosts file (right click > properties), and copy the new one into the directory over the old one (or rename the old one) if you are using Vista and have trouble).

• Restart Apache.

• Go to localhost/wordworks-php.

If it says Access forbidden!, go to httpd.conf and find <Directory />. Then replace the whole block with this:

<Directory />
    Options FollowSymLinks
    AllowOverride All
    Order deny,allow
    Allow from all
</Directory>

Restart Apache, and you're good to go.
