Background
My name is Ahmed A. Elhossieny. I'm a dedicated second-year student from Egypt, pursuing a bachelor's degree in computer science at Ain Shams University, Faculty of Computer and Information Science, and I expect to graduate in 2026. I am passionate about CSS and general web design, my skill set also includes: OOP, Data Structures, C++, Javascript, Java, React and Python. I have done one contribution on apertium-html-tools to fix issue #488.
Why is it that you are interested in Apertium?
- Apertium has an awesome and interesting community.
- Apertium seems like a good place to boost my open source/technical skills.
Why should Google and Apertium sponsor it?
- The current UI feels a bit outdated, a new UI will make good improvement to the user experience.
- A translation suggestions feature will make it easier to contribute to the platform, which will increase the overall quality.
Proposal
Website Improvements: Misc - Suggestions
The project aims to add some enhancements to Apertium’s website, specifically focusing on the Apertium-html-tools repository. By addressing open issues and implementing new features which include:
- Upgrading to Bootstrap v5
- Creating a new UI for Apertium
The project also aims to entail finishing the suggestions interface for Apertium's web infrastructure:
- Users can submit their suggestions for corrected translations through a form on the website. This form could include fields for the original text, the current translation, and the suggested correction.
- Users could also provide context or explanations for their suggestions to help the team understand the reasoning behind the correction.
- The suggestions would be sent to the backend (apertium-apy) and stored in a database. This would allow the team to review the suggestions and decide which ones to implement.
