+== Understanding of the Problem ==
+First thing which needs to be done is understanding the scope of improvement of the current wordlist and transfer rules. I looked at the Hindi resources available in the incubator (http://wiki.apertium.org/wiki/Incubator). In the POS
 tagged English to Hindi wordlist, there are only 25,424 words, while I saw the English Wordnet, which contains about 150,000 words.
 So, a lot of words need to be added for improving the translation. I also looked at the transfer rules but understanding them will take some time.

 translate the enormous amount of information available from one language to another manually. MT provides us with translations that are less accurate than human translations but in many cases, the output provided is sufficient to understand, hence serving the purpose.
-'''Interest in Apertium Project''' : I have an interest in Natural Language Processing and I can't get a better option than Apertium to work in this area. Machine Translation is a challenging task , as is evident from the History of MT and I am excited to take the current state of art to a step ahead. Open Source always excites me and I think this is the best opportunity one can get. I believe open source is the only way possible to improve the MT systems because we need quality linguistic data and excellent knowledge of language apart from a good knowledge of the field.

+== Reasons for Google and Apertium to sponsor it ==
+Apertium is a shallow-transfer machine translation system. Currently , at http://www.apertium.org/ no Indian Language is supported. Hindi is in the incubator, i would like to see the users using translation in Indian Language facility also. As, population of India is huge and there is an urgent need to gain the advantage of enumerous data available in English , this task becomes very important. Google has been a supported of open source projects. Through google summer code , more source code is created and released for the use and benefit of all.

+The whole idea of translating a text from one natural language to another exites me. I have been working on this field for about a year. MT can bring wonders , specially for Indian Languages because we still do not have enough data
 available in languages like Hindi, Urdu, Marathi, Bengali, etc. as compared to English and other foreign languages. I am specially interested in MT systems where the source language is English and the target languages are Indian Languages. It is impossible to
 translate the enormous amount of information available from one language to another manually. MT provides us with translations that are less accurate than human translations but in many cases, the output provided is sufficient to understand, hence serving the purpose.
