from french to #corsicanlanguage: scoring 1 – 11/128 = 91%. (rough) typology of remaining errors:

– grammatical disambiguation: 10% (medium)
– false positives: for example proper names that are translated instead of remaining untranslated: 10% (medium)

June 6, 2016: Scoring 91%

testing #machine translation from french to corsican. Scoring 1 – 12 / 136 = 91%.
Of interest:
– XVIe seculu (fr) = 16th century = XVIu seculu / seculu XVI (co)
– caution: sample from fr wk’s first page is convenient for its randomness, but
can not be considered as truly random text: some verb tenses are missing
in this type of articles, conversation and dialogs are scarce

June 2, 2016: scoring 88%

Sample test, interesting stuff:
– scoring 1 – 13/110 = 88% on this sample
– hard case: disambiguation of fils (fr) = son/sons (en= ) figliolu/figlioli (co)
– caution: sample from fr wk’s first page is convenient for its randomness, but
can not be considered as truly random text: some verb tenses are missing in this type of articles, conversation and dialogs are scarce
