Class Koelsch

java.lang.Object
  Koelsch

public class Koelsch

extends java.lang.Object

This is the main class starting and controlling the translation process. First, the input is read. The input is traversed to the Tagger. Here the external tagger tags the input and the new informations are saved in word. (Tagger.start). Next, the KoelnDic is started. Some words are checked here and sometimes even translated. (KoelnDic.startlookup) If translation failed, an analysation is needed (Analyse.that). Finally some complex words (like verbs or nomen) have to be generated, so the Generator is started (Generator.start) Now the result (the Cologne translation) is printed out.

Method Detail

main

public static void main(java.lang.String[] args)

formatInput

private static final java.lang.String formatInput(java.lang.String input)

The input-stream is tokenized here. Special care is taken of words with interpunction (i.e. fullstops, question mark, etc). If an interpunction is found on the end of a word, the interpunction is seperated from the word by a whitespace. The whitespace is needed for tagging. The tagger needs also a LineFeed command after every token.

Parameters:

input - (the input stream from the console)

Returns:

a new semantic form of the input - needed by the tagger

output

private static final void output(java.util.ListIterator li)
