CALL-SLT and Japanese

And we now have a skeleton Japanese system too. So far, it can only do one sentence,

hitori no teeburu wa arimasu ka

which is rendered in the Interlingua as

POLITE REQUEST TABLE 1 PERSON

Though it is nice that this goes all the way through: I can get the Interlingua as a prompt, speak the sentence, and be informed that I got it right. Not surprisingly, since the grammar doesn't cover anything else, it's very reliable when you say the one thing it knows!

Yukie and I need to get together and add more content. The first step will be for Yukie to flesh out the corpus, which currently only has a dozen or so examples.
