Proposal: Internationalization of Apertium Tools[edit]

Apertium tools are currently hard-coded as english-only.

This project aims to internationalize them so that they can be localized easily to other languages.

Tools that will be internationalized:-

Each error and warning message will have a wiki page and unique ID for easy search online.

The ID format will be something like this: AP000000

Note:

Why should Google and Apertium sponser it?[edit]

  • The internationalization of the tools makes it easier for non-english users to use it.

    • It is a simple program that prints "Hello World" in the default language of your computer (it supports English, Spanish and Danish).
    • It uses ICU message format for i18n and .txt resource bundle files for storing locales data.
    • It uses Autotools for build automation.
