Why is it you are interested in machine translation?
Why is it that you are interested in Apertium?
I have participated in GSoC 2017 with Apertium and it was a great experience. I have successfully finished my project, learned a lot of new things and had a lot of fun. Also I have participated in GCI 2017 as a mentor for Apertium and it was great too. So I am very interested in contributing to Apertium.
Apertium community is very friendly and open to new members, people here are always ready to help you. Also this organisation works on things which are very interesting for me as a computational linguist: (rule-based) machine translation, minority languages, NLP and so on.
Which of the published tasks are you interested in? What do you plan to do?
I would like to work on improving language pairs by mining MediaWiki Content Translation postedits.

Non-Summer-of-Code plans you have for the Summer
I have exams at the university until the third week of June, so I will be able to work only 20-25 hours per week. But since I am already familiar with Apertium system I can work on the project during the community bonding period. After exams I will be able to work full time and spend 45-50 hours per week on the task.
