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.
