'bhfuil 'fhios ag éinne an bhfuil saghas 'grammar checker'le fáil don Ghaeilge? D'fhéach mé ar chúpla suíomh ar an idirlíon ach ba 'downloads'iad agus níor oibrigh siad ar mo ríomhaire.

Cén saghas ríomhaire atá agat?

Windows 2000 ceapaim

Do Office XP amháin atá an gramadóir le fáil, go bhfios dom.

Maidir leis an "Gramadóir", fuair mé é seo a leanas ar http://borel.slu.edu/gramadoir/sios.html :


Windows

Things are somewhat more painful if you're running something primitive like Windows.

1. Install the latest version of ActiveState Perl.
2. Go the DOS prompt (for the youngsters, you can get there by going to Start->Accessories->Command Prompt)
3. Enter "perl -v" to verify that perl was installed correctly and is in your path; you should see something like this:

C:> perl -v

This is perl, v.5.8.6 built for MSWin32-x86-multi-thread
(with 3 registered patches, see perl -V for more detail)

4. Now install An Gramadóir using the ActivePerl package manager ppm:

C:> ppm3
ppm> install Lingua::GA::Gramadoir
ppm> quit

5. You should now have the front-end script gram-ga.pl installed. Unfortunately, DOS isn't capable of displaying the ANSI control codes that are used to highlight the errors in color. Also, you need to tell An Gramadóir to display messages in the default DOS character encoding (ibm-850). Therefore, to check an Irish language text file called gaeilge.txt, use the following:

C:> gram-ga.pl --aschod=cp850 --dath=none gaeilge.txt

Hmmm. Bhain mé triail as sin, ach is eagal liom go bhfuil sé níos casta fós.

Ar eagla na míthuisceana, ba mhaith liom a rá nach gramadóir é an rud atá á mholadh ag Aonghus thuas ansin, ach litreoir.

Is é is litreoir ann (spelling checker) ná bogearra a sheiceálann go bhfuil do chuid focal litrithe i gceart. Tá cúpla ceann le fáil, ceann ó Microsoft, ceann eile darb ainm Gaelspell, agus b'fhéidir corcheann eile.

Is é is gramadóir ann (grammar checker) ná bogearra a sheiceálann go bhfuil do chuid focal ag suí go maith le chéile ó thaobh comhréire (syntax) de. Go bhfios domsa níl ach ceann amháin le fáil, "An Gramadóir" mar atá luaite thuas cheana. Tá sé sách casta le suiteáil ar do ríomhaire féin, ach is féidir úsáid a bhaint as ar líne chomh maith: http://borel.slu.edu/gramadoir/foirm.html
