Apertium basic offline translator

The goal of the 'official' Apertium Android app is to provide example code on how to integrate Apertium offline translation into an Android app. It requires a minimum of permissions that enable developers to showcase and test their work from a phone.

The current version can be downloaded here The source code is available at http://apertium.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/apertium/trunk/apertium-mobile/apertium-android/

Ideas for further improvements:

• theme/colors doesent provide correct visual feedback (you can't see if you press buttons)
• language detection - for example using https://code.google.com/p/language-detection/
• factor unused stuff into 'Apertium extended' app

Stuff can go in the 'basic Apertium app' if 1) it doesent require scary permissions and 2) it doesent make the app harder to understand as example code on how to integrate Apertium offline translation into other apps.

Apertium extended

Apertium extended Android app would be a full-feature app with:

• a cool Android 4 interface using loads of cool visual libraries
• OCR,
• SMS translation,
• TTS, STT
• and a zillion of scary permissions (internet + read SMS + read SD card should scare you off unless you really trust the source of the app).
