I'm interested in adopting an unreleased language pair(Odia-English). As there is no Odia-English pair in Apertium, I have to work on monodix first. |

Odia is the predominant language of the Indian state of Odisha and one of many official languages of India. It the sixth Indian language to be designated a Classical Language in India on the basis of having a long literary history and not having borrowed extensively from other languages. Out of 40 million native speakers, many doesn't know English. As there are is no reliable translation available even in Google translator, it gets difficult for those people who don't understand or struggle to learn English. As English is the International language, it's widely used everywhere i.e Social Media, Internet. Through Apertium these problems an be solved using machine translation. This'll benefit a large community and for non-native speakers, they will get to know about Odia language literature. |

Currently I'm a pre-final year student of Electronics and Communicating Engineering at IIT Guwahati. Though I'm new to MT, I do coding and have interest in Machine Learning. I am comfortable with C and Python. Besides, for this project I'm familiar with Linux, XML, Odia(my mother-tongue) and English. I've not any previous experience with open source, although I've spent quite a bit of time understand about Apertium. |
