Bug#1028061: apertium-hbs-eng: Errors shown against many translated words

[Peter Blackman]

Package: apertium-hbs-eng
Version: 0.5.1-2.1
Severity: normal
Tags: upstream

Dear Maintainer,

Translating a short test file using the language pair eng-hbs;

         Mary had a little lamb.
         It's fleece was white as snow.


gave the result

         #Marica #ima @a little @lamb.
         #Free #biti *fleece #biti @white @as #snijeg#.


Problems shown on every word except 'little' was is not translated anyway!


Translating with eng-spa & eng-cat works well.


The command 'apertium -l' shows many Eastern European language pairs with
Serbian, Croatian, Bosnian, Bulgarian, Slovenian, Macedonian.
But the only way into this group from English, is via eng-hbs,
hence my interest.


Regards,
Peter

I tried patching this in, but it did not fix the problem.
