CALL-SLT and French

We should now have a complete set of of scripts, config files etc for the French version of CALL-SLT. I added a couple of placeholder files, with enough translation rules to do the sentence "Je voudrais deux bières". The make appears to work, and I was able to run the initial version of the translation game in the server. Over to Pierrette to add some actual content!

Next, Japanese...

Initial French recognizer for CALL-SLT

Pierrette's now checked in some real (as opposed to placeholder) material, and I was able to compile an initial French recognizer for CALL-SLT. It covers some very basic tourist French, so far all about ordering in restaurants. Simple as it is, I was already able to use it to improve my pronunciation of "Je voudrais un verre d'eau". As everyone who's heard me speak French knows, my version of the "r" sound is terrible. Well, at least I can roll my eyes.

If people want to look at the CALL-SLT files, they're at http://callslt.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/callslt/CALL-SLT/
