Ive looked at http://wiki.apertium.org/wiki/Ideas_for_Google_Code-in
Do you really think anyone can:
1) translate a text of 34,268 bytes (the new language pair HOWTO) into
another language
2) go through it for a new pair of languages.
3) When finished, upload to the Incubator.
in.... *2-3 HOURS*!??!?!!!!?
Well, Ive tried that task when I started out. I might be extraordinary slow
but just doing step 1) would take me at least half a day for Esperanto.
Same goes for the other proposals: These <=18 age students must be really
bright, but in general I would multiply all your estimations with a factor
>3.
Here is a proposal for what I would consider a realistic task for GCI:
Add 50 nouns to apertium-sv-da. Check that the words work for boths
directions (from Swedish to Danish and from Danish to Swedish).
Time: 14 hours
(install & compile: 4 hours. Understand the format of the 3 .dix files to
edit: 2 hours. Adding the words: 4 hours. Checking translation in both
directions and fix problems: 4 hours).
