Jump to search
The Apertium translation website is pretty cool, but we can make it even cooler. This project consists of various website improvement tasks.
Tasks
- Add "dictionary lookup" mode for single-word translations.
- Should give synonyms and alternative translations.
- It should rank the translations by likelihood.
- Add a mode that colours the resulting translation depending on how reliable it is.
- One possibility would be for language pairs to have different colours depending on WER or something.
- Make language detection work properly and do "did you mean" style if people choose an unlikely source language.
Work in progress
- An "improve this translation" option https://github.com/goavki/apertium-html-tools/pull/35
- "website translation" option https://github.com/goavki/apertium-html-tools/pull/41
- Needs improvements to APY to be able to split long pages into several requests without breaking html
Coding challenges
- Install the Apertium website with some language pairs on a server under your control, test that it works correctly.
