The editor doesn't show delete buttons on grammars published by other
users, but it was too picky when deciding which grammars you own. Now
it should be possible to delete grammars from the device/browser
you published it from, even if you don't have a private copy of it any more.
On a related note, there seems to be problem with the way unique grammars
names are created and maintained, causing published grammars to be duplicated
in some cases. This needs to be overhauled.
This was a problem in Safari (an other similar browsers I presume), but
not in Firefox: hovering over the grammar comment (shown below the grammar
name when you edit a grammar) didn't reveal the button to edit it, thus
preventing you from adding a comment. It was till possible by selecting the
"Enable editing on touch devices." at the bottom of the screen, but most
people probably didn't notice that it is possible to add a comment.
+ The PGF service now reads and caches dependency label configuration files.
+ The grammar info returned by command=grammar has a new boolean field
'hasDependencyLabels' to indicate if dependency labels were found for
the grammar. Also, command=deptree will now fail if no labels are present.
+ The minibar only shows word dependency trees if labels are present.
+ Also changed the type of getDepLabels from [String] -> Labels to
String -> Labels, since all uses were in the form "getDepLabels . lines".
This was done to obtain speech synthesis for more languages in the Numerals
grammar, which uses neither language flags nor the standard naming for
concrete syntax.
* Automatically update the translations when the set of selected
application grammars is changed.
* Skip application grammars that do not support the currently selected
source & target languages.
Add missing initalization after a new application grammar has been selected.
Add an "X" close button in the upper left corner of the grammar selection popup.
When selecting which application grammars to use for translation, after
pressing the "Grammars..." button, it is now possible to change the order
of the selected grammars by dragging them up and down in the list.
gfse/editor.js had its own list with 34 languages, while js/langcode.js
only had 30 languages. The missing languages have been added to
js/langcode.js and all apps now use that list.
There is now a new button "Grammars..." which show a list where users can
select which application grammars to use for translation, in addition to
the wide coverage grammar. Application grammars can give higher quality
translations in the domain they cover.
TODO: make it possible control the order of the selected application grammars.
This was fixed by adding "&nodep=true" in the minibar when it requests a
parse tree from the server. The reason dependency information got included
in the first place was that all rendering options are on by default in
command=parsetree requests in PGF service API.
Because of the "heurisitc factor", the results returned by the parser might
not be in strict probability order. To compensate, a sorting pass has been
added to find and show the translation with the highest probability among the
10 first translations.
However, this means that the translation demo now immediately has to ask for
10 translations of every segment. Before, it initially asked for only one
translation of every segment, and then 9 more translations for a segment
when/if the user clicked on it. This change can slow down translation
noticeably (e.g. from 15s 30s to load an example with fiction in English).
"File/Open In Wide Coverage Translation Demo" stopped working when support
for using different grammars in the Wide Coverage Translation Demo was added
On September 2.
The length limit test previously used the URL-encoded UTF-8 representation
of the source sentense. This was needed because of a fixed size buffer in C.
Now that the server is in Haskell, the only reason the length is limited
is to avoid excessive time and space use in the parser, so it is better to
count source characters. This also avoids being too restrictive with
non-European languages.
Too see inflection tables, click on a translated sentense, then click on a
blue function name in the textual representation of the abstract syntax tree.
You can now click on a tree to toggle between the abstract syntax tree and
the parse tree.
Also, the implementation now uses the new C run-time requests, e.g.
App14.pgf?command=c-abstrtree&tree=...
so no need to install AppEng.pgf on the server any more.
The trees are drawn by using the Haskell run-time request
AppEng.pgf?command=abstrtree&tree=...
Thus AppEng.pgf has to be installed on the server and in sync with App14.pgf.
This is to avoid loading the huge App14.pgf in the Haskell run-time system, and
is enough since we only need the abstract syntax.
For improved performance, request only one translation from the server
initially. When the user clicks on a translated sentense, request 9 more
translations.
