 The Spanish to Catalan translator is the oldest translator in Apertium. It is a rewrite / expansion of the <code>interNOSTRUM</code> translator that was developed at the Universitat d'Alacant. In total, it has been developed over a period of around 12 years. The original <code>interNOSTRUM</code> was released in early 2000 and took around 72 person-months (four people, 18 months) to develop (both engine, and linguistic data). It was widely used, with thousands of requests per day.

 The Nynorsk to Bokmål translator is the most-used translator on our webpage. It was started in 2008 by Francis Tyers and Trond Trosterud, using existing resources such as the Norsk Ordbank (a large full-form list of words in Nynorsk and Bokmål) and the Oslo-Bergen tagger (a constraint grammar based disambiguator for both varieties of Norwegian).

 Work on the Breton--French translator was started in 2008 by Francis Tyers in his spare time. After three months, a proof-of-concept system, using transfer rules from the French--Spanish pair was presented at Ofis ar Brezhoneg in December. It was decided that funding would be found to support another month of development to finish a prototype system which would be useful for assimilation purposes.

 Work on the Spanish-Aragonese translator was begun by Apertium-developer Jim O'Regan, at the request of Aragonese-speaker Juan Pablo Martínez. After three weeks of initial effort, spread over the course of a year, a final week of concentrated effort lead to the release of the first prototype version, translating from Aragonese to Spanish only.

 When linguistic resources, for example corpora, dictionaries, grammars, morphological analysers, lists of lemmata etc. are available under free/open-source licences they can be reused and save development time. However, the amount of time taken for adaptation should not be underestimated.
+A morphological transducer designed for spell checking might make a great spell checker, but it might not be so easy to adapt it for analysis/generation in a machine translation system. Different applications have different requirements, and this should be taken into account when deciding to reuse an existing resource, to adapt it, or to start from scratch.

The Aragonese--Spanish dictionary was created by hand, but the Spanish morphological analyser/generator and part-of-speech tagger were taken from the Spanish--Catalan pair. No funding was received from any source towards the creation of the system.
