Hi Theo, 

    could you please review if following translation matches between English and French? 

   Basically what this differ from what you sent are the incorporation of numbers that I did myself. Please ignore variable names inside tags "<>".   

Thank you very much!

Hi Andre,

Here is the corrected French version and some feedback:

           #### TIMER
            <timer> = règle le minuteur sur [( <hours> heures )] [et] [ (<minutes> | <extense>)  minutes] ;
           <hours> = une | deux | trois | quatre | cinq | six | sept | huit | neuf | dix | onze | douze | treize | quatorze | quinze | seize | dix-sept | dix-huit | dix-neuf | vingt | vingt-et-une | vingt-deux | vingt-trois;  
           <minutes> = une | deux | trois | quatre | cinq | six | sept | huit | neuf | dix | onze | douze | treize | quatorze | quinze | seize | dix-sept | dix-huit | dix-neuf;
           <extense> = <extense_0> [<extense_1>];
           <extense_0> = vingt | trente | quarante | cinquante ;
           <extense_1> = une | deux | trois | quatre | cinq | six | sept | huit | neuf   ;
           
           #### ALARM
           <alarm> = programme une alarme pour [( <hours_alarm> )] [ (<minutes> | <extense>)]  ( a m | p m ) ;


           #### PUBLIC RULE
           public <simple> =
             ouvre l'application  <app> |
             appelle <contact> |
             <timer> | 
             <alarm>;

In my initial translation, I used a curly quote, maybe PocketSphinx didn't like it?



If <extense_0> and <extense_1> will be concatenated, there's a problem for:
1 (if feminine "une", if masculine "un"
21 (if feminine "vingt-et-une", if masculine "vingt-et-un")
31 (if feminine "trente-et-une", if masculine "trente-et-un")
etc.

"hour" and "minute" in French are always feminine, so I think we're lucky here, but with the format you provided, we can't have both "1" AND "21, 31, 41, 51" correct.

Not easy to explain :) Let me try something else. Here is the list of numbers 1-59 in French, when used with a feminine word ("hours" or "minute" here), so the software needs to generate this list:


1   Une
2   Deux
3   Trois
4   Quatre
5   Cinq
6   Six
7   Sept
8   Huit
9   Neuf
10  Dix
11  Onze
12  Douze
13  Treize
14  Quatorze
15  Quinze
16  Seize
17  Dix-sept
18  Dix-huit
19  Dix-neuf
20  Vingt
21  Vingt et une
22  Vingt-deux
23  Vingt-trois
24  Vingt-quatre
25  Vingt-cinq
26  Vingt-six
27  Vingt-sept
28  Vingt-huit
29  Vingt-neuf
30  Trente
31  Trente et une
32  Trente-deux
33  Trente-trois
34  Trente-quatre
35  Trente-cinq
36  Trente-six
37  Trente-sept
38  Trente-huit
39  Trente-neuf
40  Quarante
41  Quarante et une
42  Quarante-deux
43  Quarante-trois
44  Quarante-quatre
45  Quarante-cinq
46  Quarante-six
47  Quarante-sept
48  Quarante-huit
49  Quarante-neuf
50  Cinquante
51  Cinquante et une
52  Cinquante-deux
53  Cinquante-trois
54  Cinquante-quatre
55  Cinquante-cinq
56  Cinquante-six
57  Cinquante-sept
58  Cinquante-huit
59  Cinquante-neuf
