- React
- TypeScript
- Python
- Git
- Linux Basics
- React Testing
Why am I interested in Apertium?[edit]
I'm drawn to Apertium for its active community and its potential to make a real difference in Machine Translation. Its rule-based approach and support for low-resource languages align with my interests and sparking my enthusiasm to contribute and learn.
Proposal[edit]
Title: Spell-Checking Interface for Apertium's Web Tools
Deliverables[edit]
- Update and Polish Spell-Checking Interface:
- Review and update the spell-checking interface from the existing pull request 176 in Apertium-html-tools to align with the current codebase.
- Develop APy Mode for Voikko Modules:
- Develop an APy mode for Voikko modules that allows easy access to Apertium's spell-checking capabilities using Voikko modules.
- Implementing Libvoikko Support for APy:
- Implement Libvoikko support for APy by integrating Libvoikko into APy and enabling Voikko to understand Apertium stream format.
Why should Google and Apertium sponsor it?[edit]
By sponsoring the enhancement of spell-checking capabilities, addressing the need for improving user experience and contributing to the accessibility and usability of language technology tools.
How and who will it benefit in society?[edit]
The enhancement of spell-checking capabilities within Apertium contributes to a more reliable and effective error detection and correction system for users across various languages.
