Summary

As part of FP7 project Abu-MaTran, it is proposed to have sh–sl (or hbs–slv if the other initiative presented to the PMC today is passed) improved.

The language pair seems to work OK in the sh→sl sense but not so well in sl→sh (apparently it has not been testvocked).


Improving this language pair would be nice for the first milestone of the project Abu-MaTran (June 30) as Croatia will be joining the EU on July 1. It would be used to pivot much in the same way as described in Antonio Toral's EAMT 2012 paper, using en→sl (SMT) + sl→hr (Apertium). However, project Abu-Matran does not hire anyone before 2014, so there is no available workforce. Also, we cannot schedule it as a GSoC task, or, in any case, it should be scheduled as a very early part of a GSoC task that could then continue improving it.

The task would consist of "testvocking" the language pair to avoid @'s and #'s in both directions and to make it reasonably usable in both directions, with the minimum possible amount of creation of linguistic data.

The task should be finished by April 30 and whoever takes it on will get a reward of €500 from Apertium Google Summer of Code funds.
