Hi Apertiumers: As Fran has said, I'd like to be a mentor this year.
Some of my (Computer Engineering) students are interested in applying, and I am at loss for ideas regarding improvements in the engine, except for: improving the speed of the virtual-machine transfer. Suggestions welcome! I still have to announce Apertium to my Translation students, and I was thinking. Would it make much sense to have tasks where some language pairs are ironed out by improving their vocabulary, adding rules, etc.? I am thinking of pairs such as English–Spanish.
