it works for me.

you should compile from the beginning, it looks like there's some
leftover dependencies from the last time you compiled. Do either
1. ./bjam ... -a
2. Delete & download moses again

Hi,

I would go about it this way.

1. Tag the words that are assumed to be translated correctly in the target.
2. Align them to the source words using the reported word alignment.
3. Specify translations for correctly translated source word spans with XML
markup.

For you example, the end result should be:
<x translation="the">la</x> gran <x translation="house">casa</x> roja

You may want to throw in <wall/> reordering constraints, when suitable.

Check the following paper, where TM matches were converted into such markup:

Hieu,

here :
http://www.statmt.org/moses/RELEASE-3.0/models/fr-en/config.pb.recase

I read :

input-tokenizer = "$moses-script-dir/tokenizer/normalize-punctuation.perl $input-extension | $moses-script-dir/tokenizer/tokenizer.perl -a -l $input-extension"
output-tokenizer = "$moses-script-dir/tokenizer/normalize-punctuation.perl $output-extension | $moses-script-dir/tokenizer/tokenizer.perl -a -l $output-extension"


but shouldn't the language be prefixed by "-l" for the
normalize-punctuation.perl sript ?


thanks
V

Dear Moses Admin,

We are using Moses decoder for commercial environment.

We have 132GB RAM, 1TB disk and quadcore Virtual Machine with CentOs OS.

We have 2 language pairs installed, and when running both the models together the Translation hangs(Takes a LONG time).
It is fine when we run only one language model.

Is there any Specific System requirements needed for moses?
Please let me know

Thanks and Regards,
Sujay,
