GIZA++ Guide

A newer and easier guide for Ubuntu/Debian users is available at http://blog.vee-u.com/2008/03/02/giza_pp/

• Firstly, we have to prepare 2 text files, which each lines are identical. For example,
  
  tha.txt:
  ฉัน กิน ข้าว
  ฉัน ไป โรงเรียน
  
  eng.txt:
  I eat rice.
  I go to school.
  
• Secondly, generating vocabulary files and correspondences file, using plain2snt.out. For example plain2snt eng.txt tha.txt. It must generate eng_tha.snt, eng.vcb and tha.vcb.
• Writing configuration file. For example,
  
  config:
  outputfileprefix play_giza
  sourcevocabularyfile eng.vcb
  targetvocabularyfile tha.vcb
  c eng_tha.snt
  
• Finally, running GIZA++ using this command. "GIZA++ config". Then the final result must be in the file play_giza.A3.final. (be careful if you use Mac OS X)
