Why is it you are interested in machine translation?

I am quite impressed by the work of machine translation tools and techniques on most of the Indo-European languages. Although, the work in this sub-field of computational linguistic on Indian subcontinental languages is relatively low, there are recent trends that show us that this picture is likely to change. As a student interested in natural language processing, MT gives me a great platform to work closely with linguistics and the interaction of natural language and computer languages.


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

Apertium was quite interesting to me when I first came across it given that it has an excellent documentation. As a newbie to MT, it walked me through some basic concepts on its wiki which has provided me a good base to build upon.
