[CWB] Bilingual corpus alignment

[Austin Yang]

Hey Andrew and all of the community,
Thanks for the reply! Your reply is greatly appreciated!
This is my first time working with a bilingual corpus, so forgive me for my
ignorance in advance.
I'm still a bit confused to what the alignment attribute. The alignment
command is 'sudo cwb-align-import -r '/var/CQPweb/registry' -p test.algn'
Output: Use of uninitialized value $12_keys in split at
/usr/local/bin/cwb-align-import line 119, <$fn> line3. Alignment TEST-EN =>
TEST-CHN has been created with 7 non-empty beads.
I tried the 'show + test.algn', however it doesn't seem to work, and the
registry file doesn't seem to give much information in this regard.
Does it mean the alignment failed? Or I didn't set a designated alignment
attribute?
Another kind of out of scope question is that assuming everything works out
in cqp. Is it possible to upload and present the bilingual part (assume
some queried 'Taiwan' it should show a English segment containing 'Taiwan'
and a Chinese segment in the next line) in CQPweb?
Once again, any help is desperately needed and deeply appriciated!


Best,
