| − | == Why is it you are interested in machine translation? == |
||
| − | |||
| − | |||
| − | I am computer science student,who is tech enthusiast . when I was chatting with friend he used Google translate for translating contents to his language . But there was no Malayalam in Google translate or other MT tools . so I decide to create one ,But immediately I realized that it is not an easy task as it sounds . I googled about it and got article about MT, I learned basics including automata theory and decided to concentrate more on MT. MT plays an important role in information sharing .Using MT We can even read articles written in other language without learning that language |

| − | == Why is it that they are interested in the Apertium project? == |
||
| − | |||
| − | |||
| − | Because I am a foss enthusiast and interested in machine language translation. I saw the name of Apertium in GSoC organisation list . I quickly went through the wiki and realised that this is the project I was searching for. I introduced myself in mailing list and irc and got positive response and help . My contributions tiny to apertium community includes a daily build ppa[[User:Tachyons/apertium_ppa] , mentored google code in , ported apertium-visual rule editor to QT5 etc |

| − | == Proposal == |
||
| − | |||
| − | '''Adopt a language pair: mal-eng(Malayalam to English)''' |
||
| − | |||
| − | Malayalam is the official language of Kerala (an Indian state) , It spoken by 40 million people around the world . But there is no machine language translator available for this language. My proposal is to create an English Malayalam pair using Apertium platform, It's complex task because structure of English and Malayalam So It is impossible to create complete translation system in 3 months. but I can do many things in 3 months which can help future development |
||

| − | '''why Google and Apertium should sponsor it,''' |
||
| − | |||
| − | because there is no existing machine language tools available for this language ,apertium have a solid background in the MT field so it will helpful to realize my dream . If Google approved this proposal I can spend more time for I will get more technical support |
||
| − | |||
| − | ''' How and who it will benefit in society''' |
||
| − | |||
| − | Machine language translation can play an important role in Information technology to common people, It will help quick translation of documents s,news etc to other language(Especially to mother tongue)more easily.Currently none of the existing MT syastem support malayalam pair ,So Having malayalam-english pair will defnitly help people to translate text |
