Title: Developing new Turkish(tr)-Kyrgyz(ky) apertium language pair.
Apertium is one of the effective and developing and at the same time working out of the box open source project based on machine translation out here. In almost all machine translation projects the Turkic languages are very poorly developed, some languages are not developed at all. I will develop a new Turkic language pair Turkish(tr)-Kyrgyz(ky) where Kyrgyz(ky) side will be completely developed from scratch.
And apertium project has all of the tools and platform to do that.
As a part of this project a new bilingual dictionary and morphological analyzer for Kyrgyz language will be developed.
Both of them could be used in many purposes.The project deliver ables could be used as translation tool from tr-ky and as educational tool as well. And it could help as a tutorial for other Turkic based languages.
Deliverables:
1.Bilingual tr-ky dictionary
- will be prepared from already developed starDict dictionary has almost 4600 unique entries.
- 2-days investigation
- 12-days for dictionary build up
- total 2 weeks of work
2.A Morphological analyzer/generator for Kyrgyz(ky) language
- 7-days of investigation and reading
- 21-days of programming and preparing analyzer/generator
- 7-days for testing and documentation
- total of approximately 5 weeks.
3.transfer rules.
- 7-days of reading,preparing and testing transfer rules.
- total of 1 weeks
- 4.script to trim lexica
- 7-days of reading, programming and testing.
- total of 1 week
5.Deploying all into apertium and preparing apertium tr-ky language pair.
- 10-days Testing translations and correcting errors.
- 11-days Documentation
- total of 3 weeks

Dictionary Information
As I mentioned above one part of the project is building bilingual dictionary. Fortunately I am not going to build it from nothing. There is StarDict version of Turkish-Kyrgyz dictionary without part-of-speech definitions. StarDict tr-ky dictionary consist 4600 unique entries of nouns and verbs mixed. Part-of-speeches could be extracted by using trmorph(open-source Turkish morphological analyzer). If I could get part-of-speeches of Turkish words in dictionary I could use it in building apertium tr-ky bilingual dictionary. I am planning to cover at least 50% of this dictionary in 12 days.
Kyrgyz Language morphological analyzer/generator
I am developing it by using HFST (Open source project for developing morphological analyzer/generators).I am still learning hfst ,but simple Kyrgyz language analyzer is ready according to Francis Tyers tutorial (http://wiki.apertium.org/wiki/Starting_a_new_language_with_HFST).
What is done already
An apertium project tr-ky is created as a project on SourceForge which consist of bilingual dictionary and simple Kyrgyz language morphological analyzer.
