Install proofing tools and keyboards for the Skolt Sami language by using the Divvun Installer
The speller files downloadable at the top of this page (the *.bhfst files) can
be used with divvunspell, to test their
performance. These files are the exact same ones as installed on users' computers
and mobile phones. Desktop and mobile speller files differ from each other in the
error model and should be tested separately — thus also two different downloads.
Documentation can be found here:
In order to compile and use the Skolt Sami language morphology and dictionaries, you need:
- an FST compiler: HFST, Foma or Xerox Xfst
- VislCG3 Constraint Grammar tools
To install VislCG3 and HFST, just copy/paste this into your Terminal on macOS:
curl https://apertium.projectjj.com/osx/install-nightly.sh | sudo bash
or terminal on Ubuntu, Debian or Windows Subsystem for Linux:
wget https://apertium.projectjj.com/apt/install-nightly.sh -O - | sudo bash
sudo apt-get install cg3 hfst
or terminal on RedHat, Fedora, CentOS or Windows Subsystem for Linux:
wget https://apertium.projectjj.com/rpm/install-nightly.sh -O - | sudo bash
sudo dnf install cg3 hfst
Alternatively, the Apertium wiki has good instructions on how to install the dependencies for Mac OS X and how to install the dependencies on linux
Further details and dependencies are described on the GiellaLT Getting Started pages.
Using Git:
git clone https://github.com/giellalt/lang-sms
Using Subversion:
svn checkout https://github.com/giellalt/lang-sms.git/trunk lang-sms
INSTALL describes the GNU build system in detail, but for most users it is the usual:
./autogen.sh # This will automatically clone or check out other GiellaLT dependencies
./configure
