Lingua::Identify
SYNOPSISmake-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
-d
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.
-D
Debug mode. Only for development.
-h
Display help and exit.
-v
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
"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.
