Moses v1.0 multi language ini file

Question

I was working with mosesserver 0.91 and everything works fine but now there is version 1.0 and nothing is same as before.

Here is my situation:

I want to have multi language translation from arabic to english and from english to arabic. All data and configuration file I have works with 0.91 version of mosesserver. Here is my config file:

So please can someone help me and rewrite this config file so it can work in version 1.0. And i need some python sample code of translation. I am using xmlrpc in python and earler I sent http request with:

import xmlrpclib

client = xmlrpclib.ServerProxy('http://localhost:8080')
client.translate({'text': 'some text', 'system': 'en-ar'})

but now seems there is no more 'system' parameter and moses use always default settings.

I fix it. This is new ini file:

 # mapping steps

 1 T 1

 [distortion-limit]

Sample code for client is:

import xmlrpclib

client = xmlrpclib.ServerProxy('http://localhost:8080')
client.translate({'text': '<seg weight-setting="%s">%s</seg>' % ('en-ar', some_text)})

where "en-ar" is translation system which, in my case, translate from english to arabic (also i have other translation system "ar-en" (from arabic to english) as you can see from ini file).
