Why is it you are interested in machine translation?

On the one hand, I'm a student of linguistic faculty, so working with language material and understanding more about language structure while contributing to machine translation systems is one of my primary interests as a linguist. On the other hand, I also have a great interest in coding and I'd like to use any opportunity to learn to code better or learn new things concerning programming. Working with machine translation seems to ideally fit both interests.


Why is it that you are interested in the Apertium project?

Apertium does rule-based machine translation. On the contrast to, it seems, more widespread nowadays corpus-based translation, it requires working with language structure, which it's attracts me as a linguist. It is also very attractive for me that Apertium supports the minority languages, because working with them is much more interesting that with the big ones.


Which of the published tasks are you interested in? What do you plan to do?

Title

Adopt Polish -> Russian language pair
