completed Translate grammars for all 8 languages; a Makefile entry for them; updated doc/translation.html. What remains to do is to make the new documentation facilities (GF-driven, in the Documentation modules) available in the Android app, so that the Parse* modules can be retired from translation tasks.

<H2>How to use it</H2>
<P>
This is a document about a wide-coverage translation system in GF. If you just want to try it before reading more,
here are the main modes of getting started:

2. <B>Get an Android app.</B> Forthcoming.

<LI>compile and install the GF compiler and library and the C runtime (<CODE>pgf-translate</CODE>).
<P></P>
<LI>compile the translator:
<PRE>
cd GF/lib/src
make Translate8.pgf
</PRE>
This will take a long time (ten minutes or more) and will probably require at least 8GB of RAM.
<P></P>
<LI>run the translator
<PRE>
pgf-translate Translate8.pgf Phr TranslateEng TranslateSwe

with obviously the possibility to vary the source and the target language.
