Free language software for linux

Russian Language Learning is a Java application that helps you to learn Russian using the Leitner system.

Memorizing words and phrases will not only be more efficient, but the system is a joy to use. Each card also has the phrase spoken by a native russian speaker, to help with pronunciation.

The Leitner system is a way of progressively learning words by placing them in stacks. The words you know are placed in stacks seperate from the words that are still troubling you, for more efficient learning.

And there is one other thing about Tanooshka.com language learning. Each set of cards, are the words to a movie, so when youve learned the set of words, you can watch the movie, and understand it! In Russian!

sdlBasic is a small and efficient basic interpreter aimed to game creation in the spirit of the old and glorious AMOS.
Enhancements:
- fixed bug with debug inspect variables
- fixed bug of return os :now return linux win32 or osx
- added some part of requested names commands
- added do loop control structures

. Its syntax is almost identical to that of the Interactive Data Language (IDL).
Main features:
- all language elements are supported
- multithreaded operators
- array operations use MMX/SSE/SSE2, if available
- module profiling
- line profiling
- about 300 library functions (more or less usable)
- true-color (24 bit) direct graphics devices: X, WIN, PS, PDF, Z
- run-time performance: for many programs, FL is faster than IDL (eg. the empty loop is three times faster in FL :-)
Installation:
- create a directory (INSTDIR), where you want to install FL
- unpack the archive into this directory
- create an FL_DIR environment variable, which points to INSTDIR/fl/fl_0.61
- run FL_DIR/bin/fl
Enhancements:
- This release introduces Distributed FL, and can be started as a TCP/IP daemon (Linux only), waiting for requests from other hosts (masters) and working for them as a slave.

Plone Language Tool is a product which allows you to set the available languages in your Plone site.
PloneLanguageTool allows you to set the available languages in your Plone site, select various fallback mechanisms, and control the use of flags for language selection and translations.
When installed, a new Plone control panel action will allow you to select various language options, such as the default and list of allowed languages.
PloneLanguageTool is shipped with Plone beginning in version 2.1 and up.
Enhancements:
- Bug fix release included in Plone 2.5.2.

V language is a tiny concatenative language implemented for experimentation.
The source is under Public Domain (un-copyrighted.)
The full featured language is on top of JVM, A native version (in alpha state) is also there in the codebase.
To run it, extract the distribution in any directory and do #gmake run.
gmake
gmake run
V
|
The language is a close relative of postscript, forth and joy. and is stack based. ie:
|2 3 *
=6
|2 3 * 5 +
=11
See status for a tutorial and more info.
The Functions available in V are available in this page: functions
(The releases are out of date and multiple fixes have gone in. Please check out and build rather than use them.)
Example functions in V. getting the roots (with out using the stack shuffling word view)
[quad-formula
[a b c] let
[minisub 0 b -].
[radical b b * 4 a * c * - sqrt].
[divisor 2 a *].
[root1 minisub radical + divisor /].
[root2 minisub radical - divisor /].
root1 root2
].
|2 4 -30 quad-formula ??
=(-5.0 3.0)
using view
[quad-root
[a b c : [0 b - b b * 4 a * c * - sqrt + 2 a * /]] view i
].
|2 4 -30 quad-root ??
=(3)
contrast this with the definition in scheme here
(define quadratic-formula
(lambda (a b c)
(let ([minusb (- 0 b)]
[radical (sqrt (- (* b b) (* 4 ( * a c))))]
[divisor (* 2 a)] )
let ([root1 (/ (+ minusb radical) divisor)]
[root2 (/ (- minusb radical) divisor)])
(cons root1 root2)))))
Definition of Qsort.

[joinparts]
binrec].
Some explanations.
The first and second lines (terminated by .) are internal function definitions
(Notice how qsort is also terminated by .) . is the definition syntax in V.
The first function joinparts
============================
The function joinpart contains just an application of the operator view.
view is list translator. It takes a list of the form [template : result]
then it tries to apply the template to the current stack. If it can be applied on the
stack, then the arguments named in the template are bound to values in stack. The result is then processed, and all the bound elements in result are replaced by their values.
[pivot [*list1] [*list2] : [*list1 pivot *list2]] view expects 3 arguments on the stack,
the first a single element pivot, then two lists list1 and list2.
It returns a list that is composed of elements of list1 followed by pivot
followed by elements of list2 (as defined in result - RHS of :).
ie:
44 [1 2 3] [5 6 7] [pivot [*list1] [*list2] : [*list1 pivot *list2]] view ??
=> [1 2 3 44 5 6 7]
(The function ?? is used to print out the elements in the stack now.)
The second function split_on_first_element
==========================================
The definition is [uncons [>] split&]
The uncons splits a list into the first element and the rest of the list.
ie:
[1 2 3 4 5] uncons ??
=1 [2 3 4 5]
split& takes two arguments, the first is the function F to split a list with,
and the second the list itself. All elements in the list that passes the function F
is put into the first list, and all that do not are put into the second list.
ie:
[1 2 3 4 5 6 7] [4 >] split& ??
=[5 6 7] [1 2 3 4]
The function F can also take an argument from the stack. so this also works.
4 [1 2 3 4 5 6 7] [>] split& ??
=[5 6 7] [1 2 3 4]
Thus the split_on_first_element takes the first element of a list, and split that
list based on that element as a filter.
binrec
=======
binrec expects 4 arguments,
Arg1 is the terminating condition,
Arg2 is the result if the terminating condition is met.
Arg3 is an executable statement that returns two entities.
The entire binrec statement is performed on each of the
two entities until the terminating condition is met.
Arg4 is what to do with the result of the previous statement.
Algorithm.
Here, the small? checks if the list is empty or contains just one element.
if it is, then the result is arg2 - []
ie:
[] small? ??
=true
[1] small? ??
=true
[1 2 3 4] small? ??
=false
split_on_first_element takes is executed on all lists that are larger than size 1
and as explained above, splits them into two based on the first element.
on the resultent lists, the entire qsort is performed again due to binrec.
The last joinparts takes these elements (pivot list1 list2) which are present now
on the stack, and combines them to produce a single sorted list.
A slightly friendlier function (with out the binrec.)
[qsort
[joinparts [pivot [*list1] [*list2] : [*list1 pivot *list2]] view].
[split_on_first_element uncons [>] split&].
[small?]
[]
[split_on_first_element [list1 list2 : [list1 qsort list2 qsort joinparts]] view i]
ifte].
The binrec and friends are more powerful than the explicit recursion done above, but for people new to concatenative languages, this kind of recursion may look more intuitive.
Enhancements:
- The language has become relatively stable.
- Lots of bugfixes were made in scope handling.
- Tree operations were added.
- Generic combinators were moved out into a separate library.

Apache::Language is a Perl transparent language support for Apache modules and mod_perl scripts.

SYNOPSIS

In YourModule.pm:

sub handler {
my $r = shift;
use Apache::Language;
my $lang = Apache::Language->new($extra_args);
#$lang is now a hash ref that will automacigally pick the right language

print $lang->{Error01} if exists $lang->{Error01};

foreach ( keys %$lang ){
print "$_ is " . $lang->{$_};
}

[...]
}

The goal of this module is to provide a simple way for mod_perl module writers to include support for multiple language requests.

This is version 0.03, and its a complete rewrite from the ground-up of the previous release. Its still backward-compatible with the other releases, but now its much more advanced.

An Apache::Language object acts like a language-aware hash. It stores key/language/values triplets. Using the Accept-Language: field sent by the web-client, it can pick the best fit language for that specific client. Its usage is transparent and should prove to be quite convenient (and hopefully, efficient).

The method used to store/fetch information is now completely modular and will allow easy creation of new storage methods thru a simple API (see the API section).

ADML language is a server-side scripting language with Mysql database suport.

About Apache:

Apache HTTP Server is a free software/open source HTTP web server for Unix-like systems (BSD, Linux, and UNIX systems), Microsoft Windows, Novell NetWare and other platforms. Apache is notable for playing a key role in the initial growth of the World Wide Web, and continues to be the most popular web server in use, serving as the reference platform against which other web servers are designed and judged.

Apache features highly configurable error messages, DBMS-based authentication databases, and content negotiation. It is also supported by several graphical user interfaces (GUIs) which permit easier, more intuitive configuration of the server.
The Apache HTTP Server is developed and maintained by an open community of developers under the auspices of the Apache Software Foundation.

Open Dice Language project is a language for describing dice rolls.

Open Dice Language is a language for describing dice rolls.

The language is nearly identical to what you see in most role-playing game texts (e.g., "1d20"). It provides several interfaces to the language.

To run in CLI interface mode:

# pushd $ODL_HOME
# java -jar ODL.jar

To run as Widget:

build using `ant widget`
widget is now installed in users widget directory
