jbofihe is a project that parses Lojban text and provides rough English translation.

jbofihe (or more correctly jbofi'e) is a parser for checking the grammatical correctness of Lojban text.

It also provides approximate translations of Lojban into English. (Lojban is a constructed human language with the interesting property that its grammar can be cast into a form that Bison can parse.)

The package includes cmafi'e (a smaller version without grammar checking), and a program to aid lujvo (compound word) construction.

Here are some key features of "jbofihe":
checking grammatical correctness of Lojban text
displaying successfully analysed text with nesting of grammatical constructs shown (either inline or as a tree)
displaying approximate word-for-word English translations of the Lojban words, with some limited 'part-of-speech' adjustment of the English forms.
showing which sumti fill each of the places of each selbri
(optionally) performing various analyses regarding elidable terminators : inserting missing ones, checking for all of them being present, identifying redundant ones.
