== Why is it you are interested in machine translation? == |
|||
I am computer science who is tech enthusiast . when I was chating with friend he used google translate fortranslating contents to his language . But there was no malayalam in google translate or other MT tools . so I decide to create one ,But immediatly I realised that itis not an easy task asitsounds . I googled about it and got article about MT, I learned basics including automata theory and decided to concentrate more on MT. MT plays an important role in information sharing . We can even read articles written in other language without learningthat language |
|||
== Why is it that they are interested in the Apertium project? == |
|||
Because I am a foss enthusiast and interested in machine language translation. I saw the name of Apertium in GSoC organisation list . I quickly went through the wiki and realised that this is the project I was searching for. I introduced myself in mailing list and irc and got positive response and help |

'''Adopt a language pair: ml-en(Malayalam to English)''' |

Malayalam is the official language of kerala (an indian state) , It spoken by 40 million people around the world . But there is no machine language translator available for this language. My proposal is to create an English Mlayalam pair using Apertium platform |
|||
'''why Google and Apertium should sponsor it,''' |
|||
because there isno existing machine language tools available for this language ,apertium have a solid background in the MT field soit will helpful to realise my dream . If Google approved this proposal I can spend more time for I will get more technical support |
|||
''' How and who it will benefit in society''' |
|||
Machine language translation can play an important role in Information technolgy to common people, It will help quick translation of documents ,novels,news etc to other language(Especially to mother tongue)more easily. |

I am a computer science student ,and interested in foss . I can code in python,c,c++,c# ,java,php ,javascript and little objective c and Google Go.Malyalam is my mother tongue and english was my second language at school , I am familiar with both languages |
|||
'''Convince us that you can do the work. In particular we would like to know whether you have programmed before in open-source projects.''' |
|||
I am new to the open source world so currently my contributions are very less :-(, Check my github profile for my existing open source projects |
|||
'''List any non-Summer-of-Code plans you have for the Summer, especially employment, if you are applying for |
|||
internships, and class-taking. Be specific about schedules and time commitments.''' |
