Some commands (linearize, linearizeAll, random, generate, translate and translategroup) by default produce output in all languages supported by the grammar and the 'to' parameter could be used to restrict output to a single language. Now you can restrict the output to a list of languages. Languages should be separated by spaces. Also removed an unnecessary LANGUAGE pragma and reduced code verbosity.
DESCRIPTION
The Grammatical Framework (=GF) is a grammar formalism based on type theory.
It consists of
* a special-purpose programming language
* a compiler of the language
* a generic grammar processor
The compiler reads GF grammars from user-provided files, and the
generic grammar processor performs various tasks with the grammars:
* generation
* parsing
* translation
* type checking
* computation
* paraphrasing
* random generation
* syntax editing
GF particularly addresses four aspects of grammars:
* multilinguality (parallel grammars for different languages)
* semantics (semantic conditions of well-formedness, semantic
properties of expressions)
* grammar engineering (modularity, abstractions, libraries)
* embeddability in programs written in other languages (C,C++,
Haskell, Java, JavaScript)
