This script translates ASCII text written for BST Hebrew to Unicode. The bidirectional writing direction is respected, extensive punctuations are removed, and the text is normalized (using the hebrew library).
In addition to Python, poetry must be installed.
In the cloned directory, the project can be installed by calling poetry install.
This will also install all dependencies.
To get a help message, run poetry run start --help.
To run some (very) basic tests, run poetry run pytest.
To translate a Grabsteine-file, run poetry run start <path/to/file.csv>.
For each Grabstein, this will translate the hebrew texts
and create an output file in the output subdirectory.
The output directory can be changed with the -o option.
