Hi Lahari, Did you take a look on this page: https://wiki.apertium.org/wiki/Starting_a_new_language_with_HFST ?
Telugu has already a minimal skeleton in Apertium: https://github.com/apertium/apertium-tel We would have to do something similar to what I proposed for Hindi, with the difference that with Telugu we start practically from scratch. Another difference is that Telugu uses twol + lexc/lexd. In short: you have to describe the morphology of the language (nouns, adjectives, verbs, adverbs, etc.) + introduce words by associating them with the paradigms defined in the morphology. The aim is to achieve a high coverage. Typically, this is done by starting with the closed morphological categories and then moving on to the open ones. The inclusion of words depends on the free resources available. In the worst case, it is done by hand in decreasing order of word frequency. At the moment there is quite a lot of work: installing Apertium (with twol + lexc/lexd) and basically learning how it works. The "coding challenge" ( https://wiki.apertium.org/wiki/Ideas_for_Google_Summer_of_Code/Morphological_analyser ) is essential as it shows that the candidate has understood the basics. In case you have problems (which is absolutely normal), don't hesitate to ask for help in the IRC channel. We are here to help.
