But consider the following questions: (a) Are there existing machine translation (MT) systems for this pair? (b) If there are existing systems, how good are they? -- Could you do better in three months? (c) How closely related is the pair? (d) How many resources already exist for the pair? > After reading the proposed coding challenge and the recommended > resources for the project, I managed to install Apertium and a > language pair on my Ubuntu machine.

For the es-ro language pair, that I > have installed, I tried using the following command: "apertium es-ro > input output". It worked for a small text. Is this the way to go? $ cat /tmp/ro.txt | apertium -d . ro-es | sed 's/#//g' 1 DÓNDE ES ION? 2 Ion y Maria son en jardín. El tiempo es hermosa hoy, es muy caliente. Ayer, mas, sido muy @rece! No se pudieron jugar afuera. @Lui Ion y *Mariei los gusta que se juegos, ellos todo el tiempo afuera en el jardín, ante la casa grandes. 3 Iones es un chiquillo y tiene 6 años. La chiquilla es la hermana suyo, ella tiene 5 años. Ion tiene un perro pequeño, el perro es y él en el jardín ahora. Al perro la gusta que se juegos con los dos niños. El perro es muy feliz ahora. 4 Tiene y Maria un perro? No, Maria no tiene perro, ella tiene una gata. La gata es mas en la casa, la gata duerme. 5 Madres suyos es en casa con la gata, se olvida a la ventana y la ve a Ion y Maria jugándose. Ion huye rápidamente hacia un árbol grande y anciano, él se esconde de Maria. Saber tú por qué? Maria queda con manos ante los ojos. No puede ver nada y cuenta. Por qué hace ella eso? También, qué hace Ion al lado del árbol? > Also, should I start from scratch and build the dictionaries for the > coding challenge, if I would like to contribute to a language pair > that already exists in the Incubator(in my case French-Romanian)? I would recommend doing it at least once, for a small amount of text, even though later you will use the stuff in incubator. > Finally, as I figure things out, I would like some feedback on my > proposed schedule for the project. Is it ok to post it on the list?
