| − | == Why is it that you are interested in learning about machine translation? == |
||
| − | Born as a Vietnamese in Vietnam, I have learning English since I was a kid, since it has always been deemed as an essential tool for people in my generation. However, I also understand that because learning a language not only takes time, effort and dedication but also a lot of money, and that not everyone has the opportunity and resources to do so. Therefore, in my opinion, machine translation is a useful alternative for people who wish to approach resources in other languages for their careers, entertainment or (life exp). |

| − | == Why are you interested in Apertium project? == |
||
| − | First of all, since Apertium is an open-source project, everyone can contribute and I think that this system is perfect for language translation. Since language is created by, developed by, affected by, and used by people, it requires human involvement and human understanding. *edit* |
||
| − | Second, despite having no immediate relations, there are many similarities in the grammar structures of the specific pair of language that I'm thinking about (Vietnamese<->English), and therefore I believe that the rule-based MT Apertium can provide a system () |
