Why is it that you are interested in Apertium?

I belong to a country where 720 dialects used by a population of 1.3 billion. Being from a nation with vast languages and as a student of Computer Science, I strive to solve the problems in language translation through my knowledge of programming and natural language processing. I like the concept of Apertium as an open source language translator as it solves the problem of language translation with ease. As I am a student of Computer Science, I have a keen interest in programming and development. I am proficient in web development and want to apply my knowledge of machine translation by contributing in Apertium. I have an urge to improve open source language translation with Apertium. One of the greatest features is the ease of adaption of a new language pair. In my opinion, it is an extremely important feature of this project and I also like the idea of general rules for closely related languages.

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

I am planning to work on the either or both of the listed projects:

  1. Python API/library for Apertium
  2. Improvements to the Apertium website

Why Google and Apertium should sponsor it?

I have a proper knowledge and experience with development in Python, C , Html , Css and JavaScript. Moreover I would like to work projects including areas like web development, opencv, machine learning and natural language processing. The libraries of apertium are written in C++ which is low level language and i am planning to learn C++ as my next language proficiency . As people prefer high level languages like python, C++ packages need to be made available by writing APIs for python using SWIG. SWIG allows C++ libraries to be used flexibly with scripting languages such as python.
