Some ideas for expanding and promoting Apertium, like a scratchpad or something.

Ideal pairs for development

These pairs are ideal for development due to the closeness of the languages in question, or historical connection. Some are closer than others, but all are pretty close.

  • Slovenian <-> Serbo-Croatian <-> Macedonian <-> Bulgarian (South-Slavic dialect continuum)
  • Hindi <-> Urdu
  • Persian <-> Tajik
  • Danish <-> Swedish <-> Norwegian Bokmål <-> Norwegian Nynorsk <-> Icelandic <-> Faroese (North-Germanic dialect continuum)
Between Nynorsk and Bokmål there exists a proprietary implementation, Nynodata, some discussion here
  • Czech <-> Slovak
  • Indonesian <-> Malaysian
  • Afrikaans <-> Dutch
  • Northern Sotho <-> Sotho
  • Irish <-> Scots Gaelic — Kevin Scannell already has a system, but it could be Apertiumised.
  • Turkish <-> Azerbaijani <-> Turkmen <-> Tatar
  • Russian <-> Ukrainian <-> Belarusian
  • Romanian <-> Aromanian
  • Italian <-> Neapolitan

Large pairs for which we should have something

  • Italian <-> French
  • Dutch <-> German
