		<description><![CDATA[One of the great things about the Apertium machine translation project is that Fran Tyers and others connected with it have assembled sizeable collections of free (GPL) lexical data.  So that was the first place to look when I wanted a Spanish dictionary to use with the Bangor Autoglosser.  However, the dictionaries are [...]]]></description>

So, cue one week of building, installing, transferring data, and (not least) tweaking things so that they are the way they should be. [...]]]></description>

I spoke to a few slides on the first, summarising why the Bangor autoglosser had been developed, and what it does, and we also publicised the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Just for interest, I registered the Swahili verb segmenter at Ohloh.  This is quite a clever setup, because they analyse the various bits of code in the repo and come up with a nice set of tables on the analysis page.  The number of code lines comes out at around 2,400 (not counting [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been doing some work over the past few weeks with the ESRC Centre for Research on Bilingualism at Bangor University, focussing on autoglossing their Welsh and Spanish conversation transcripts.  As part of that, I&#8217;ve been using Constraint Grammar again as a possible approach to disambiguating words in the text.

On the FreeDict list, Piotr Bański and Jimmy O&#8217;Regan had noted the absence of a free (GPL) morphological analyser for Swahili &#8211; some have been written, but they are not available under a free license.

Perhaps there&#8217;s something it doesn&#8217;t like about the Scheherezade font file &#8230;
