The background color of the translation changes to pale green, yellow or red according to the quality. Two types of quality indications are supported: + From the grammar: linearizations starting with "+" or "*" are assumed to be of high or low quality, respectively. + From the parse tree: if the root function is "?", then the translation is assumed to be of low quality. If no quality indications are detected, medium quality is assumed.
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)
