Open Words is a port of William Whitaker's original Ada code to Python for future maintenance and improvement.
Find the original Whitaker's Words written in Ada at https://github.com/dsanson/Words, thoughtfully documented and maintained by dsanson. More information about William Whitaker and the Words program is available there.
To use the dictionary lookup from Latin to English, use the Parse class as follows:
from open_words.parse import Parse
parser = Parse()
parser.parse_line('Sunt geminae Somni portae')
