Why is it you are interested in machine translation?
I have always fascinated by machine translation and I am an active user of it. Machine translation nowadays demanded more than ever because people are travelling more than before and it takes down language barriers. Although the quality of translation improved significantly in recent years we cannot fully rely on it because of errors in translations. As a computer science student I think it is my responsibility to make it better.
Why is it that you are interested in the Apertium project?
The first attribute of Apertium platform that draw my attention is that it is open-source. Nowadays most existing platforms are not free and users cannot use them freely on their projects. Since I am a supporter of open-source I found this project is interesting.Another thing that I like in this project that there are many members who are actively contributing to Turkic languages. Since I am a native speaker of Uzbek I want to improve the translation of my native language too. My contribution to this project will be improving Turkish<->Uzbek language pair because it has not been updated for four years.
