"The tarfile above includes a tagger/supertagger and chunker and also a
PCFG parser all trained on the tiny LTRC treebank. The treebank is also
in the data directory and the tests directory (where it has been
converted to dependency trees, etc.)."

"T Papi Reddy, who was one of my team members in the workshop held a
couple of years ago in India, has a version of his chunker available for

According to http://www.afnlp.org/nlprs2001/WS-LanguageResource/001.pdf,
NHK Science and Technical Research Laboratories has been generating
a parallel corpus in 22 languages including Hindi and English since 1998
by collecting the foreign language versions of Japanese news broadcasts.


According to http://tdil.mit.gov.in/corpora/ach-corpora.htm,
the Central Institute of Indian Languages (http://www.ciil.org/)
has a 3 million word corpus.

Rendering, encodings, fonts etc.:

A good illustration of why Hindi rendering is not trivial:
http://people.redhat.com/otaylor/gtk/guadec2-i18n/slide003.html

Website for an Indian-language localization project for linux:
http://www.indlinux.org/
They have a package that works for RedHat 8.0 to view and type (but not print and sort) Hindi text.

As of 5/16/2003, QT 3.2 Beta 1 supports complex rendering in Hindi and similar languages:
http://www.trolltech.com/newsroom/announcements/00000127.html
The previous releases of QT (used e.g. in the KDE desktop) do not.

ITRANS:

The ITRANS 7-bit transliteration for devanagari -- this may be the most  practical thing for "ascii" approximations:

Tools for conversion among Unicode, ISCII, ITRANS, proprietary fonts:

Notes on converting from ISCII or Unicode into ITRANS
Notes on other usages and how to hack them.

ISCIlib, iconverter:
http://www.cse.iitk.ac.in/users/isciig/
http://www.cse.iitk.ac.in/users/isciig/documents/user_iconverter.txt
"Support is provided for conversions from iscii code space to unicode and vice-versa
for each of the ten Indian languages. A file containing Indian language texts in ISCII codes,
can be converted to its unicode equivalent with the help of the tool - iconverter."
Same project also has spellchecker...
and iscii2ps for printing.

IBM's International Components for Unicode: http://oss.software.ibm.com/icu/
Includes "uconv" which seems to convert ISCII <-> unicode

Our tools for hand alignment, translation and entity tagging use QT:
>From TrollTech News Release for Qt 3.2:

> The addition of Indic script input and rendering means that Qt 3.2 now
> supports all major script-based languages, including advanced languages
> such as Hindi and Bengali. Qt 3.2 is also more efficient at font
