Back to Labs/Ubiquity.
The Epic Journey
We will now follow the journey of a string through Ubiquity's parser.
Suppose that the user enters the following into the parser:
trans hello world to ja
Finding the Verb
First, the parser finds the verb in the sentence. This is currently done by just taking the part of the string that occurs before the first space character: in other words, trans is our verb, and hello world to ja is the rest of our sentence.
