+Første Open Source maskinoversættelse mellem svensk og dansk
+First open source machine translation between Swedish and Danish
+---------- Dansk (english version below)
+Vi har netop frigivet version 0.5 af svensk-dansk
+til open source maskinoversættessystemet Apertium.
+Det er det første frie maskinoversættelsesystem mellem svensk og dansk.
+Det kan allerede nu bruges fra http://apertium.org/, men forhåbentlig vil
+fællesskabet omkring fri software tage det til sig og snart gøre det
+tilgængeligt på bl.a. alle Linux-arbejdsstationer.
+Til udviklingen har vi brugt et antal frit tilgængelige kilder, bl.a.
+open source stavekontrollen Aspell, Den stora svenska ordlistan,
+http://dsso.se og den svenske og danske Wikipedia og Wiktionary.
+Udviklingen er sponsoreret af Google Summer of Code (GSOC) og foretaget
+af student Michael Kristensen. Mentorer på projektet er Francis Tyers
+(Universitat d'Alacant og Prompsit Language Engineering) og
+Jacob Nordfalk (Ingeniørhøjskolen i København).

+---------- English
+A new language pair, Swedish-Danish, has been released for the
+the free and open-source Apertium machine translator engine.
+It's the first open source machine translator for Swedish and Danish.
+The pair is immediately available for testing at http://apertium.org/,
+but will hopefully adopted by the free-software community and be available
+on i.a. the Linux desktop.
+In developing this system, we used a number of freely available sources
+of information for constructing the system, i.a. high coverage
+spell-checkers
+available in the aspell project, Den stora svenska ordlistan, http://dsso.se
+and the Swedish and Danish Wikipedia and Wiktionaries.
+This language pair was developed as part of a Google Summer of Code (GsoC)
+project by Michael Kristensen, mentored by Francis Tyers (Universitat
+d'Alacant and Prompsit Language Engineering) and Jacob Nordfalk
+(Ingeniørhøjskolen i København).
+For more information on Apertium and GsoC, see
+http://socghop.appspot.com/org/home/google/gsoc2009/apertium .
+Many thanks to Thyge Larsen for his assistance with post-edition and
+evaluation.

+=Swedish and Danish=
 Swedish and Danish are closely related languages. Their differences are mainly found on the morphological level, the main lexicon is identical (or rather, very similar, with systematic differences), and the syntax is very similar. There are some differences, though.
