 == Proposal: Internationalization of Apertium Tools ==
+Apertium tools are currently hard-coded as english-only.
-* TODO
+This project aims to internationalize them so that they can be localized easily to other languages.
+Tools that will be internationalized:-
+* https://github.com/apertium/lttoolbox
+* https://github.com/apertium/apertium
+* https://github.com/apertium/apertium-lex-tools
+* https://github.com/apertium/apertium-separable
+* https://github.com/apertium/apertium-recursive
+* https://github.com/apertium/apertium-anaphora
+* https://github.com/apertium/lexd
+Note:
+* Internationalization(i18n) and Localization(l10n) are not the same thing.
+* In summary, i18n is related to programming while l10n is related to translation.
+* for more details about this, take a look at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internationalization_and_localization.
