• Apply evaluation metrics such as BLEU.
• Post-edit the obtained machine translation.

Features

• Portable (Windows / Linux)
• Friendly Graphical User Interface (GUI) for MOSES.
• Use machine translation tool MOSES, post-edit the output and run evaluation metrics.

Dependencies

Source code

About Linux

• You should link /bin/sh to /bin/bash and not to bin dash. To do that:
  • Check the link:

   ls -l /bin/sh
  

  • If /bin/sh is a link to /bin/dash, change it to /bin/bash.

   sudo mv /bin/sh /bin/sh.orig
   sudo ln -s /bin/bash /bin/sh
  

This is necessary to use the redirection commands used by MOSES commands.

On Ubuntu

• To install its dependencies run

   python ubuntu_install.py
