ILSP Focused Crawler

h1. Sentence Alignment Setup

In order to get sentence alignments as the output of bilingual crawls, ILSP-FC integrates the java sentence aligner provided at http://align.sourceforge.net/. Alternatively you can use an external aligner like hunalign.

For example, for the current version of ILSP-FC, you can

• download the hunalign-1.2 source code from http://mokk.bme.hu/en/resources/hunalign/
• follow the instructions on the hunalign page for building hunalign
• put the hunalign directory containing the hunalign executable next to the runnable ilsp-fc jar.

For example, if you run ilsp-fc from:
~/ilsp-fc/ilsp-fc-2.2-jar-with-dependencies.jar

you should do the following

cd ~/ilsp-fc/
wget ftp://ftp.mokk.bme.hu/Hunglish/src/hunalign/latest/hunalign-1.2.tgz
tar xvfz hunalign-1.2.tgz
cd hunalign-1.2/src/hunalign/
make
ln -sf hunalign-1.2 hunalign

This should create hunalign/src/hunalign/hunalign with the suggested hunalign directory structure, including

~/ilsp-fc/hunalign/data/
~/ilsp-fc/hunalign/src/hunalign/hunalign

Now, you are ready to produce TMX files from bilingual crawled data using the -align, -dict, -oft and -ofth options described in the Getting Started part of the documentation.
