Description

Set of Java classes that allow the Lucene search engine to use morphological information developed for the Apertium open-source machine translation platform (http://www.apertium.org). Morphological information is used to index new documents and to process smarter queries in which morphological attributes can be used to specify query terms.

The tool makes use of morphological analyzers and dictionaries developed for the open-source machine translation platform Apertium (http://apertium.org) and, optionally, the part-of-speech taggers developed for it. Currently there are morphological dictionaries available for Spanish, Catalan, Galician, Portuguese,
Aranese, Romanian, French and English. In addition new dictionaries are being developed for Esperanto, Occitan, Basque, Swedish, Danish,
Welsh, Polish and Italian, among others; we hope more language pairs to be added to the Apertium machine translation platform in the near future.
