The application conjugates Portuguese verbs as spoken in Brazil:
When the entered expression is not a verb, GConjugue tries to find it among the conjugated forms of known verbs, as below:
It also has the option of conjugating verbs as ordinary Brazilians do. In fact, Brazilians of different regions deviate from the normative grammar in different ways, but the conjugation displayed will already help foreigners to grasp what Brazilians are saying:
If you are using Debian, Ubuntu or another Debian based distribution, you can install GConjugue from official repositories:
sudo apt-get install gconjugue
You can get information on how the application works at the menu item
Help/Contents (whose source code is in src/callbacks.c).
GConjugue is based on conjugue, a free software developed by Ricardo Ueda Karpischek.
Two binaries are generated from the source code: gconjugue (GTK+
application) and conjugar (text only application). Most users will be
interested in gconjugue, but those wanting to use the output in other
applications, such as a web page, have to run conjugar.
In addition to a C compiler you will need the libraries and development files
for GTK+ to build gconjugue. On Debian or Debian based systems, like Ubuntu,
install the package libgtk-3-dev and its dependencies. On other systems the
package might be called gtk3-devel.
The configure script will warn you about missing dependencies. To compile GConjugue do:
./configure
make
sudo make install
To build and install the development version, before the commands above, do:
./autogen.sh
If you do not want to build the GTK+ Graphical User Interface do:
./configure --enable-gtkgui=no
If you do not need the Text User Interface, do:
./configure --enable-tui=no
Note: Both applications are known to work in environments with UTF-8 character encoding.
The file LeiaMe.md (in Portuguese) has additional information and some ideas for future development.
