Why is it that you are interested in Apertium?

• Apertium has a decent and interesting community.
• Apertium seems like a good place to boost my open source/technical skills.

Why should Google and Apertium sponsor it?

• The current UI feels a bit outdated, a new UI will make good improvement to the user experience.
• A translation suggestions feature will make it easier to contribute to the platform, which will increase the overall quality.
