Background
- I am a freshman computer science student at Ain Shams University in Egypt.
- Native Language: Arabic
- Second Language: English
Skills
- C++
- Linux Basics
- Git
Why am i interested in Apertium?
- I found that Apertium is a suitable place to learn about how open source projects operate and how can i take part in.
- It has an interesting and active community.
Proposal: Internationalization of Apertium Tools
Apertium tools are currently hard-coded as english-only.
This project aims to internationalize them so that they can be localized easily to other languages.
Tools that will be internationalized:-
- https://github.com/apertium/lttoolbox
- https://github.com/apertium/apertium
- https://github.com/apertium/apertium-lex-tools
- https://github.com/apertium/apertium-separable
- https://github.com/apertium/apertium-recursive
- https://github.com/apertium/apertium-anaphora
- https://github.com/apertium/lexd
Note:
- Internationalization(i18n) and Localization(l10n) are not the same thing.
- In summary, i18n is related to programming while l10n is related to translation.
- for more details about this, take a look at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internationalization_and_localization.
Why should Google and Apertium sponser it?
- the Internationalization of the tools makes it easier for non-english users to use it.
how and who it will benefit in society?
- It will make the use of Apertium tools easier for non-english users.
Coding Challenge
- I have done the coding challenge related to this project and its code can be found here.
- I have also written a program that enables to internationalize shell scripts and sent a pull request to the lttoolbox repo with the program integrated (can be found here).
