Plugins

Here is a list of plugins that would be nice to have for Apertium.

Completed

• OpenOffice

In progress

• X-Chat plugin
• Pidgin

Requested

• A plugin for subtitle editors.

We have Apertium Subtitles, but instead of making our own subtitle editor it's more feasible to make an Apertium plugin for high-quality existing subtitle editors, like http://jubler.org/. It would be easy - perhaps 1—2 day's work - to add Apertium support for http://jubler.org/. See discussion and coding advice on [here] and [here].

• Automated export to mobile dictionaries.

We have Apertium-tinylex and it's fine. Yet, there are many much more developed mobile dictionary applications available, such as Omnidic - http://www.openmobiledictionary.com/ (really cool! — source at http://code.google.com/p/omnidic/source/list). The task would be to add program tools and set up scripts needed for exporting Apertium bilingual dictionaries to other platforms, i.a. omnidic, and add to f.eks. [1].

• API that mimics the API of Google Translate.

If we had an API package that resembled that of Google Translate what would probably ease adoption of Apertium in a range of software.
