Why is it that you are interested in Apertium?

I'm a student of English Translation&Interpreting. My intention is to get a masters degree in Linguistics and I think this is an excellent start.

Proposal: Turkmen-Turkish MT

Which of the published tasks are you interested in? What do you plan to do?

My plan is to adopt an unreleased language pair, tuk-tur. I'll be working on it to bring it up to release quality, which will involve writing and refining rules for transfer and lexical selection that will result in a valid text in the target language.

Why should google and apertium sponsor it?
