hunalign-dict-muse

Dictionaries for hunalign generated from Facebook MUSE dictionaries.

Last updated: 11 Jan 2022

How to manually update the files

In bash run update.sh to trigger a new download and conversion of the Facebook dictionaries.

What happens during conversion:

• Removes the test and train subset files.
• Will rename *.txt to *.dict
• Will put the required delimiter <space>@<space into the files
• Reverse the order of the words, because hunalign expects the order to be <target language> @ <source language> (the reverse from the way the API and command line utility expect it)

NOTE The filename is <source language>-<target language>.dict
