==Task ideas (2018) ==

This is the task ideas page for [https://developers.google.com/open-source/gci/ Google Code-in], here you can find ideas on interesting tasks that will improve your knowledge of Apertium and help you get into the world of open-source development.

The people column lists people who you should get in contact with to request further information. All tasks are 2 hours maximum estimated amount of time that would be spent on the task by an experienced developer, however:

<!--# '''this does not include time taken to [[Minimal installation from SVN|install]] / set up apertium (and relevant tools)'''.-->
# this is the time expected to take by an experienced developer, you may find that you spend more time on the task because of the learning curve.

<!--Если ты не понимаешь английский язык или предпочитаешь работать над русским языком или другими языками России, смотри: [[Task ideas for Google Code-in/Russian]]-->

This task requires finding five such pages and either outright fixing them or documenting the difficulty involved in fixing the issues. Note Category:GitHub_migration_updates lists articles currently marked for needing migration but is not exhaustive.

The script should combine glosses into one when there's more than one in the bilingual dictionary.

|description=The lexc format is a way to specify a monolingual dictionary that gets compiled into a transducer: see [[Apertium-specific conventions for lexc]] and [[Lttoolbox and lexc#lexc]]. A single lexc file may contain quite a few individual lexicons of stems, e.g. for nouns, verbs, prepositions, etc. Write a script (in python or ruby) that reads a specified lexicon, and based on which option the user specifies, identifies and removes duplicates from the lexicon, and/or sorts the entries in the lexicon. Be sure to make a dry-run (i.e., do not actually make the changes) the default, and add different levels debugging (such as displaying a number of duplicates versus printing each duplicate). Also consider allowing for different criteria for matching duplicates: e.g., whether or not the comment matches too.

Task ideas (2018)[edit]

This is the task ideas page for Google Code-in, here you can find ideas on interesting tasks that will improve your knowledge of Apertium and help you get into the world of open-source development.

The people column lists people who you should get in contact with to request further information. All tasks are 2 hours maximum estimated amount of time that would be spent on the task by an experienced developer, however:

  1. this is the time expected to take by an experienced developer, you may find that you spend more time on the task because of the learning curve.

Categories:

  • code: Tasks related to writing or refactoring code
  • documentation: Tasks related to creating/editing documents and helping others learn more
  • research: Tasks related to community management, outreach/marketting, or studying problems and recommending solutions
  • quality: Tasks related to testing and ensuring code is of high quality.
  • design: Tasks related to user experience research or user interface design and interaction

Clarification of "multiple task" types

  • multi = number of students who can do a given task
  • dup = number of times a student can do the same task

You can find descriptions of some of the mentors here.

code, quality Increase test coverage of begiak, our IRC bot, by at least 10% There are many modules without any tests at all, unfortunately. See the associated GitHub issue for more details and discussion. python, bot sushain, JNW, wei2912, Josh, shardulc no 4 4
code Improve the .logs command of begiak, our IRC bot Currently, the .logs command just links to the root logs. Ideally, it would link to the channel specific logs, support a time being handed to it and have tests. See the associated GitHub issue for more details and discussion. python, bot sushain, JNW, wei2912, Josh, shardulc no
code Update the awikstats module of begiak, our IRC bot, for GitHub There are a couple steps remaining for this process, mostly small modifications to the existing code which are enumerated in the associated GitHub issue which also contains more context and discussion. python, bot sushain, JNW, wei2912, shardulc no
code, research Research and propose a flood control system for begiak, our IRC bot Begiak often floods the channel with notifications from modules such as git. Compile a list of modules which flood Begiak, write a mini-report on the associated GitHub issue and propose changes to be made to the modules. For each module, there should be an issue created with a list of proposed changes, referenced from the main issue. The issue should be added to the associated GitHub project. python, bot sushain, JNW, wei2912, shardulc no
code, research, quality Clean up obsolete modules for begiak, our IRC bot Refer to the associated GitHub issue for more details. After this task, the list of modules on Begiak's wiki page should be updated. python, bot, wiki sushain, JNW, wei2912, shardulc yes
code Add GitHub issue creation functionality to begiak, our IRC bot Ideally, this would be added to an existing module. If that doesn't make sense, a new module is acceptable as well. The associated GitHub issue includes an example of the command's usage and reply. python, github, bot sushain, JNW, wei2912, Josh, shardulc no
code Support GitHub modules in apertium-get Unfortunately, the transition to GitHub from SVN made it so this script which is very handy for downloading an Apertium language/pair doesn't fetch the newest packages anymore. This also means that beta.apertium.org is out of date. See the associated GitHub issue issue for more details and discussion. bash, github sushain, Unhammer, wei2912, Josh, xavivars, shardulc no
code, quality Add default CI configs to Apertium packages via Apertium-init Currently, some Apertium pairs/language modules use CI but it's very inconsistent and doesn't come by default. Apertium-init is the official way to bootstrap a new Apertium package so if it came with CI support by default, that would be great. See the associated GitHub issue issue for more details and discussion. ci, circleci, yaml sushain, Unhammer, wei2912, xavivars, shardulc no
code Ensure XML produced by Apertium-init has consistent XML declarations Currently, some XML produced by Apertium-init, a script which allows bootstrapping Apertium packages easily, has declarations and some doesn't. Moreover, the declarations are sometimes inconsistent. All XML files should have the same declaration. Note that not all of the XML files in Apertium-init use the .xml file extension. See the associated GitHub issue issue for more details and discussion. xml, python sushain, Unhammer, wei2912, xavivars yes
code, quality Make Apertium-init's default Makefiles and config files pass make distcheck Currently, the distcheck target for packages created with Apertium-init, a script which allows bootstrapping Apertium packages easily, does not pass the distcheck target. This task requires fixing this issue. See the associated GitHub issue issue for more details and discussion. python, autotools, make, bash Unhammer, Flammie, Unhammer, Josh no
code, quality Increase Apertium-init test coverage Currently, we have a decent set of tests for the script but there are some more complex behaviors such as GitHub interaction that we don't test. This task requires making substantial improvements to the test coverage numbers. See the associated GitHub issue issue for more details and discussion. python, unittest sushain, Unhammer, wei2912 no
code Ignore .prob files in bilingual modules created by Apertium-init Apertium-init bootstraps Apertium packages and comes with a default gitignore. This gitignore could be improved by making it ignore *.prob files but only for pairs since they are meaningful for language modules. It would be extra cool if we had some tests for this functionality that weren't too contrived. See the associated GitHub issue issue for more details and discussion. python, git sushain, Unhammer, wei2912, Josh no
code Set repository topic on repos created by Apertium-init Apertium-init bootstraps Apertium packages and supports creating an associated GitHub repository. Our source browser and other scripts expect a GitHub repository topic like "apertium-incubator". This task requires creating the incubator topic by default on repo push with an option for custom topics.

research Write a contrastive grammar Document 6 differences between two (preferably related) languages and where they would need to be addressed in the Apertium pipeline (morph analysis, transfer, etc). Use a grammar book/resource for inspiration. Each difference should have no fewer than 3 examples. Put your work on the Apertium wiki under Language1_and_Language2/Contrastive_grammar. See Farsi_and_English/Pending_tests for an example of a contrastive grammar that a previous GCI student made. wiki, languages Mikel, JNW, Josh, xavivars, fotonzade yes 40

quality Post-edit 100 sentences of any public domain text from %AAA% to %BBB% Many of our systems benefit from statistical methods used with (ideally public domain) bilingual data. For this task, you need to translate a public domain text from %AAA% to %BBB% using any available machine translation system and clean up the translations yourself manually. Commit the post-edited texts (in plain text format) to an existing (via pull request) or if needed new github repository for the pair in dev/ or texts/ folder. The texts are subject to mentor approval. xml, dictionaries, svn fotonzade, JNW, ftyers, anakuz, xavivars, Mikel, shardulc yes 10

code Use SWIG or equivalent to add C++ bindings for text analysis in apertium-python Currently, apertium-python just pipes text through the binaries in each mode file. We would like to directly execute the associated C++ function instead. See the associated GitHub issue for more details and discussion. python, c++, swig sushain no
code Use cgo to integrate apertium and lttoolbox C++ libraries in Go Currently, all apertium core libraries are written in C++. There are other languuages, like Go, where concurrency is at the very core of the language itself. It would be great to be able to write small programs like the new lt-proc intergeneration in Go, using cgo as a way to bind both languages. go, c++, cgo xavivars
code Integrate HFST's C++ Python bindings into apertium-python Currently, apertium-python just pipes text through the binaries in each mode file. Where appropriate, i.e. a mode accesses HFST binaries, we would like to directly execute the associated C++ function instead. python, c++, swig sushain no
code Improve the apertium-python Windows installation process Currently, apertium-python requires a complex installation process for Windows (and Linux). The goal is something that works out-of-the-box with pip. See the associated GitHub issue for more details and discussion. python, windows sushain, wei2912, arghya no
code Setup scripts for [1], the relevant issue to ask questions is [[2]] Write setup.py scripts that install the current setup of Apertium+Python and also additionally make the setup.py script work on Windows too. python, windows sushain, arghya yes
documentation, code Setup documentation generation for apertium-python Currently, there are some docstrings attached to functions and constants. This task requires setting up Sphinx/readthedocs for apertium-python so these docs are easily accessible. Types should also be visible and documentation should support being written in Markdown, not RST. See the associated GitHub issue for more details and discussion. python, sphinx sushain, Josh, arghya no
code, design Upgrade apertium.org (html-tools) to Bootstrap 4 Currently, we are on a frankensteined version of Bootstrap 3. See the associated GitHub issue for more details and discussion. Note that the frankenstein'd CSS will likely need to be fixed and theme support should be retained (should be simple). javascript, css, web, bootstrap sushain, xavivars, shardulc no
code, quality Get apertium.org (html-tools) QUnit testing coverage working Currently, we have a QUnit testing framework mostly complete. There are some fixes that need to be made in discussion with the mentor and existing comments and JS coverage checking needs to be added so that we can burn down existing debt. See the associated GitHub PR for more details and discussion. javascript, jquery, web sushain, jjjppp no
code, quality Fix/prevent apertium.org (html-tools)'s recursive website translation Currently, if you try translating Apertium's website with Apertium's website, bad things happen. This 'exploit' is also possible through mutual recursion with another site that offers similar behavior. See the associated GitHub issue for more details and discussion. javascript, jquery, web, bootstrap sushain, Unhammer, shardulc no
code Convert apertium.org's API (APy)'s language name storage from SQL to TSV Currently, language names that power part of the Apertium HTTP API are stored and updated in SQL. It would be nice if they were stored in a more human readable format like TSV and the SQLite were generated at build time. See the associated GitHub issue for more details and discussion. python, sql, tsv sushain, Unhammer, xavivars no
code Support unicode without escape sequences in apertium.org's API (APy) Currently, HTTP responses with unicode characters are emitted as \uNNNN by the Apertium API. Ideally, the character could just be decoded. See the associated GitHub issue for more details and discussion. python, api, unicode, json, api, http sushain, Unhammer, shardulc no
code Make apertium.org (html-tools) fail more gracefully when the API is down Currently, html-tools relies on an API endpoint to translate documents, files, etc. However, when this API is down the interface also breaks! This task requires fixing this breakage. See the associated GitHub issue for more details and discussion. javascript, html, css, web sushain, Unhammer, shardulc no
code, design Refine the apertium.org (html-tools) dictionary interface Significant progress has been made towards providing a dictionary-style interface within html-tools. This task requires refining the existing PR by de-conflicting it with master and resolving the interface concerns discussed here. See the associated GitHub issue for more details and discussion. javascript, html, css, web sushain, shardulc no
code, design Chained translation path interface for apertium.org (html-tools) Significant progress has been made towards providing an interface for selecting a path for chained (multi-step) translation in html-tools. The code is currently in a branch that needs to be de-conflicted with master, refined to accommodate changes in the main interface since the code was written, tested, and finally merged. javascript, html, css, web sushain, shardulc no
code, documentation Add a Swagger/OpenAPI specification for apertium.org's API (APy) There's been some work towards this already but it's outdated. This task requires updating it and for bonus points ensuring at build time that all paths are minimally present in the Swagger spec. Furthermore, it would be awesome if a simple HTTP page could be made that loads the spec (e.g. this page for another service). See the associated GitHub issue for more details and discussion. python, api, http, openapi, swagger sushain, xavivars no
code Accept ISO-639-1 codes in apertium-stats-service This task requires making /en-es, /en-spa, etc. work the same as /eng-spa and then adding tests that verify the behavior. See the associated GitHub issue for more details and discussion. rust, api, http sushain no
code Support listing of packages in apertium-stats-service This information is something that is useful in a lot of different places, for example, our source browser. By having the stats service implement it, everyone doesn't have to write the same code in different languages and the information gets cached. For GCI task credit, the last commit info is not required (another task can be made for that feature). This task requires implementing the initial feature, adding some basic tests and tweaking the swagger spec. One or more of those tasks can be broken into other task(s) if the mentor sees fit and the student requests it. See the associated GitHub issue for more details and discussion. rust, api, http, rest sushain no
code Add configurable timeout support to apertium-stats-service Currently, a stats request has no clear timeout and can take ~forever if the async option is not present. This tasks requires adding a timeout option, adding tests and then tweaking the swagger spec. See the associated GitHub issue for more details and discussion. rust, api, http, rest sushain no
code Surface errors to the client in apertium-stats-service Right now, errors are logged and swallowed. The client never knows what happened. This task requires implementing the feature, adding some basic tests and tweaking the swagger spec.

See the associated GitHub issue for more details and discussion. rust, api, http, rest sushain no
code Include Git SHA in apertium-stats-service's file info Right now, only the SVN revision number is provided but that doesn't help with mapping back on to a SHA in Git/GH for the client.

code script to test coverage over wikipedia corpus Write a script (in python or ruby) that in one mode checks out a specified language module to a given directory, compiles it (or updates it if already existant), and then gets the most recently nightly wikipedia archive for that language and runs coverage over it (as much in RAM if possible). In another mode, it compiles the language pair in a docker instance that it then disposes of after successfully running coverage. Scripts exist in Apertium already for finding where a wikipedia is, extracting a wikipedia archive into a text file, and running coverage. python, ruby, wikipedia Jonathan, Wei En, Shardul

quality,code make html-tools do better on Chrome's audit Currently, apertium.org and generally any html-tools installation fails lots of Chrome audit tests. As many as possible should be fixed. Ones that require substantial work should be filed as tickets and measures should be taken to prevent problems from reappearing (e.g. a test or linter rule). More information is available in the issue tracker (#201) and asynchronous discussion should occur there. javascript, html, css, web Jonathan, Sushain, Shardul
code,interface upgrade html-tools to Bootstrap 4 Currently, html-tools uses Bootstrap 3.x. Bootstrap 4 beta is out and we can upgrade (hopefully)! If an upgrade is not possible, you should document why it's not and ensure that it's easy to upgrade when the blockers are removed. More information may be available in the issue tracker (#200) and asynchronous discussion should occur there. javascript, html, css, web Sushain, Shardul yes
code,interface display API endpoint on sandbox Currently, html-tools has an "APy" mode where users can easily test out the API. However, it doesn't display the actual URL of the API endpoint and it would be nice to show that to the user.

code,interface de-conflict the 'make a suggestion' interface in html-tools There has been much demand for html-tools to support an interface for users making suggestions regarding e.g. incorrect translations (c.f. Google translate). An interface was designed for this purpose. However, since it has been a while since anyone touched it, the code now conflicts with the current master branch. This task requires de-conflicting this branch with master and providing screenshot/video(s) of the interface to show that it functions.

quality update bidix included in apertium-init There are some issues with the bidix currently included in apertium-init: the alphabet should be empty (or non-existant?) and the "sg" tags shouldn't be in the example entries. It would also be good to have entries in two different languages, especially ones with incompatible POS sub-categories (e.g. casa<n><f>). There is a github issue for this task. python, xml, dix Jonathan, Sushain yes
code apertium-init support for more features in hfst modules Add optional support to hfst modules for enabling spelling modules, an extra twoc module for morphotactic constraints, and spellrelax. You'll want to figure out how to integrate this into the Makefile template. There is a github issue for this task. python, xml, Makefile Jonathan
code, quality make apertium-init README files show only relevant dictionary file Currently in apertium-init, the README files for HFST modules show the "dix" file in the list of files, and it's likely that lttoolbox modules show "hfst" files in their README too. Check this and make it so that READMEs for these two types of monolingual modules display only the right dictionary files. There is a github issue for this task. python, xml, Makefile Jonathan, Sushain
code, quality Write a script to add glosses to a monolingual dictionary from a bilingual dictionary Write a script that matches bilingual dictionary entries (in dix format) to monolingual dictionary entries in one of the languages (in lexc format) and adds glosses from the other side of the bilingual dictionary if not already there. The script should combine glosses into one when there's more than one in the bilingual dictionary. Some level of user control might be justified, from simply defaulting to a dry run unless otherwise specified, to controls for adding to versus replacing versus leaving alone existing glosses, and the like. A prototype of this script is available in SVN, though it's buggy and doesn't fully work—so this task may just end up being to debug it and make it work as intended. A good test case might be the English-Kazakh bilingual dictionary and the Kazakh monolingual dictionary. python, lexc, dix, xml Jonathan
code Write a script to deduplicate and/or sort individual lexc lexica. The lexc format is a way to specify a monolingual dictionary that gets compiled into a transducer: see Apertium-specific conventions for lexc and Lttoolbox and lexc#lexc. A single lexc file may contain quite a few individual lexicons of stems, e.g. for nouns, verbs, prepositions, etc. Write a script (in python or ruby) that reads a specified lexicon, and based on which option the user specifies, identifies and removes duplicates from the lexicon, and/or sorts the entries in the lexicon. Be sure to make a dry-run (i.e., do not actually make the changes) the default, and add different levels debugging (such as displaying a number of duplicates versus printing each duplicate). Also consider allowing for different criteria for matching duplicates: e.g., whether or not the comment matches too. There are two scripts that parse lexc files already that would be a good point to start from: lexccounter.py and inject-words-from-bidix-to-lexc.py (not fully functional). python, ruby, lexc Jonathan

quality, code Separate geographic and module data for Apertium Globe Viewer The Apertium Globe Viewer is a tool to visualise the translation pairs that Apertium currently offers, similar to the apertium pair viewer. Currently, geographic data for languages and pairs (latitude, longitude) is stored with the size of the dictionary, etc. Find a way to separate this data into distinct files (named sensibly), and at the same time make it possible to specify only the points for each language and not the endpoints for the arcs for language pairs (those should be trivial to generate dynamically). javascript, json Jonathan
quality, code Scraper of information needed for Apertium visualisers There are currently three prototype visualisers for the translation pairs Apertium offers: Apertium Globe Viewer and apertium pair viewer and language family visualisation tool. They all rely on data about Apertium linguistic modules, and that data has to be scraped. There are some tools which do various parts of this already, but they are not unified: There are scripts that do different pieces of all of this already: queries svn, queries svn revisions, counting bidix stems. Evaluate how well the script works, and attempt to make it output data that will be compatible with all viewers (and/or modify the viewers to make sure it is compatible with the general output format). python, json, scrapers Jonathan
quality fix pairviewer's 2- and 3-letter code conflation problems pairviewer doesn't always conflate languages that have two codes. E.g. sv/swe, nb/nob, de/deu, da/dan, uk/ukr, et/est, nl/nld, he/heb, ar/ara, eus/eu are each two separate nodes, but should instead each be collapsed into one node. Figure out why this isn't happening and fix it. Also, implement an algorithm to generate 2-to-3-letter mappings for available languages based on having the identical language name in languages.json instead of loading the huge list from codes.json; try to make this as processor- and memory-efficient as possible. javascript Jonathan
quality, code split nor into nob and nno in pairviewer Currently in pairviewer, nor is displayed as a language separately from nob and nno. However, the nor pair actually consists of both an nob and an nno component. Figure out a way for pairviewer (or pairsOut.py / get_all_lang_pairs.py) to detect this split. So instead of having swe-nor, there would be swe-nob and swe-nno displayed (connected seemlessly with other nob-* and nno-* pairs), though the paths between the nodes would each still give information about the swe-nor pair. Implement a solution, trying to make sure it's future-proof (i.e., will work with similar sorts of things in the future). javascript Jonathan, Fran, Unhammer
quality, code add support to pairviewer for regional and alternate orthograpic modes Currently in pairviewer, there is no way to detect or display modes like zh_TW. Add suppor to pairsOut.py / get_all_lang_pairs.py to detect pairs containing abbreviations like this, as well as alternate orthographic modes in pairs (e.g. uzb_Latn and uzb_Cyrl). Also, figure out a way to display these nicely in the pairviewer's front-end. Get creative. I can imagine something like zh_CN and zh_TW nodes that are in some fixed relation to zho (think Mickey Mouse configuration?). Run some ideas by your mentor and implement what's decided on. javascript Jonathan, Fran
code Extend visualisation of pairs involving a language in language family visualisation tool The language family visualisation tool currently has a visualisation of all pairs involving the language. Extend this to include pairs that involve those languages, and so on, until there are no more pairs. This should result in a graph of quite a few languages, with the current language in the middle. Note that if language x is the center, and there are x-y and x-z pairs, but also a y-z pair, this should display the y-z pair with a link, not with an extra z and y node each, connected to the original y and z nodes, respectively. The best way to do this may involve some sort of filtering of the data. javascript Jonathan

quality 3. Easy Thorough checkup of bn-en morphological analyser While the current bn-en morphological analyser has a pretty good coverage, it should have been higher. Part of the reason is that a lot of verbs have one/two slight different surface forms that differ from the regular ones and the analyser misses them. Using lt-expand it's possible to generate all forms of the verbs, then manually check these and using another script (already in the pair) rebuild the analyser file. This checking will require a native speaker/expert on Bengali language 2–4 Abu Zaher

It'd be good if it stops crashing in those cases.

Pair visualisations[edit]

Category Title Description Mentors
quality fix pairviewer's 2- and 3-letter code conflation problems pairviewer doesn't always conflate languages that have two codes. E.g. sv/swe, nb/nob, de/deu, da/dan, uk/ukr, et/est, nl/nld, he/heb, ar/ara, eus/eu are each two separate nodes, but should instead each be collapsed into one node. Figure out why this isn't happening and fix it. Also, implement an algorithm to generate 2-to-3-letter mappings for available languages based on having the identical language name in languages.json instead of loading the huge list from codes.json; try to make this as processor- and memory-efficient as possible.

quality, code split nor into nob and nno in pairviewer Currently in pairviewer, nor is displayed as a language separately from nob and nno. However, the nor pair actually consists of both an nob and an nno component. Figure out a way for pairviewer (or pairsOut.py / get_all_lang_pairs.py) to detect this split. So instead of having swe-nor, there would be swe-nob and swe-nno displayed (connected seemlessly with other nob-* and nno-* pairs), though the paths between the nodes would each still give information about the swe-nor pair.

Particularly good if the system is (approximately) rule-based such as Lucy, Reverso, Systran or SDL Free Translation: (1) Install the Apertium language pair, ideally such that the source language is a language you know (L₂) and the target language a language you use every day (L₁). (2) Collect a corpus of text (newspaper, wikipedia) Segment it in sentences (using e.g., libsegment-java or a similar processor and a SRX segmentation rule file borrowed from e.g. OmegaT) and put each sentence in a line. Run the corpus through Apertium and through the other system Select those sentences where both outputs are very similar (e.g, 90% coincident). Decide which one is better. If the other language is better than Apertium, think of what modification could be done for Apertium to produce the same output, and make 3 such modifications.

quality Examples of minimum files where an Apertium language pair messes up wordprocessor (ODT, RTF) formatting Sometimes, an Apertium language pair takes a valid ODT or RTF source file but delivers an invalid ODT or RTF target file, regardless of translation quality. This can usually be blamed on incorrect handling of superblanks in structural transfer rules. The task: (1) select a language pair (2) Install Apertium locally from the Subversion repository; install the language pair; make sure that it works (3) download a series of ODT or RTF files for testing purposes. Make sure they are opened using LibreOffice/OpenOffice.org (4) translate the valid files with the language pair (5) check if the translated files are also valid ODT or RTF files; select those that aren't (6) find the first source of non-validity and study it, and strip the source file until you just have a small (valid!) source file with some text around the minimum possible example of problematic tags; save each such file and describe the error.

quality Examples of minimum files where an Apertium language pair messes up (X)HTML formatting Sometimes, an Apertium language pair takes a valid HTML/XHTML source file but delivers an invalid HTML/XHTML target file, regardless of translation quality. This can usually be blamed on incorrect handling of superblanks in structural transfer rules. The task: (1) select a language pair (2) Install Apertium locally from the Subversion repository; install the language pair; make sure that it works (3) download a series of HTML/XHTML files for testing purposes. Make sure they are valid using an HTML/XHTML validator (4) translate the valid files with the language pair (5) check if the translated files are also valid HTML/XHTML files; select those that aren't (6) find the first source of non-validity and study it, and strip the source file until you just have a small (valid!) source file with some text around the minimum possible example of problematic tags; save each such file and describe the error.

code Write a transliteration plugin for mediawiki Write a mediawiki plugin similar in functionality (and perhaps implementation) to the way the Kazakh-language wikipedia's orthography changing system works (documented last year here. It should be able to be directed to use any arbitrary mode from an apertium mode file installed in a pre-specified path on a server.

research using language transducers for predictive text on Android Investigate what it would take to add some sort of plugin to existing Android predictive text / keyboard framework(s?) that would allow the use of lttoolbox (or hfst? or libvoikko stuff?) transducers to be used to predict text and/or gesture typing (swipe typing). Document your findings on the apertium wiki.

research research gesture typing back end for Android Research and document on apertium's wiki how recent versions of Android's built-in keyboard interface to a spelling dictionary to guess words with gesture typing. You should state in some combination of broad and specific terms what steps would be needed needed to connect this to a custom back end, e.g. how it could call some other program that looked up words for a given language (e.g., a keyboard layout which currently does not have an Android-supported gesture keyboard).

research, quality improvements to lexc plugin for vim A vim syntax definition file for lexc is presented on the following wiki page: Apertium-specific conventions for lexc#Syntax highlighting in vim. This plugin works, but it has some issues: (1) comments on LEXICON lines are not highlighted as comments, (2) editing lines with comments (or similar) can be really slow, (3) the lexicon a form points at is not highlighted distinctly from the form (e.g., in the line «асқабақ:асқабақ N1 ; ! "pumpkin"», N1 should be highlighted somehow). Modify or rewrite the plugin to fix these issues.

code make reproducible builds for core tools Normally, when you compile software on different machines, the byte-for-byte output will differ, making it hard to verify that the code hasn't been tampered with. With a reproducible build, the output is byte-for-byte equal even though built on different machines. Using https://gitian.org, create reproducible builds of the latest releases of lttoolbox / apertium / apertium-lex-tools / vislcg3. up2015 User:Unhammer
