The first attribute of Apertium platform that draw my attention is that it is open-source. Nowadays most existing platforms are not free and users cannot use them freely on their projects. Since I am a supporter of open-source I found this project is interesting.Another thing that I like in this project that there are many members who are actively contributing to Turkic languages. Since I am a native speaker of Uzbek I want to improve the translation of my native language too. My contribution to this project will be improving Turkish<->Uzbek language pair because it has not been updated for four years.

Although Uzbek and Turkish are in the same language groups there are no appropriate translation platforms on the internet. Also, although Uzbek language has 33 million native speakers it is not popular on the internet. The information found on the internet is very limited. I believe that my contribution to this platform will raise popularity of Uzbek language.

Why is it you are interested in machine translation?

I have always fascinated by machine translation and I am an active user of it. Machine translation nowadays demanded more than ever because people are travelling more than before and it takes down language barriers. Although the quality of translation improved significantly in recent years we cannot fully rely on it because of errors in translations. As a computer science student I think it is my responsibility to make it better.

Why is it that you are interested in the Apertium project?

The first attribute of Apertium platform that draw my attention is that it is open-source. Nowadays most existing platforms are not free and users cannot use them freely on their projects. Since I am a supporter of open-source I found this project is interesting.Another thing that I like in this project that there are many members who are actively contributing to Turkic languages. Since I am a native speaker of Uzbek I want to improve the translation of my native language too. My contribution to this project will be improving Turkish<->Uzbek language pair because it has not been updated for four years.

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

Title

Bring a released Turkish<->Uzbek language pair up to state-of-the-art quality. Also I am ready to fix technical errors because I have some experience in software development. Reasons why Google and Apertium should sponsor it. Although Uzbek and Turkish are in the same language groups there are no appropriate translation platforms on the internet. Also, although Uzbek language has 33 million native speakers it is not popular on the internet. The information found on the internet is very limited. I believe that my contribution to this platform will raise popularity of Uzbek language.


A description of how and who it will benefit in society:

Firstly, It will benefit app developers since Apertium is open-source anyone can use it one their projects. Secondly, the relation between Uzbekistan and Turkey is improving. There are many visitors from Turkey to Uzbekistan for business or for tourism. Releasing Turkish<->Uzbek language pair will take down language barriers between these nations.

Working plan

Doing coding challenge(until May 1)

Installing Apertium Forking an existing language pair and setting Apertium to add data to and existing language pair. Try to learn as much as possible about Apertium platform. Creating a wiki page on Apertium
