Many languages use diacritics and accents in normal writing, and Apertium is designed to use these, however in some places, especially for example. instant messaging, irc, searching in the web etc. these are often not used or untyped. This causes problems as for the engine, traduccion is not the same as traducción. Create an optional module to restore diacritics and accents on input text, and integrate it into the Apertium pipeline.
Tasks

- Allow rule-based replacements of character sequences.
- ...
Coding challenge
- Install Apertium
