Dear Elanjelian:
thanks for your message. Apertium can handle UTF-8 natively, so I think
the Tamil script should not be a problem. Here are some pages on our
wiki that explain how to get started with a project:
http://wiki.apertium.org/wiki/Apertium_New_Language_Pair_HOWTO (In your
case, there is already a large English dictionary)
http://wiki.apertium.org/wiki/Become_a_language_pair_developer_for_Apertium
You can always contact the Apertium-stuff list too (subscribe at
https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/apertium-stuff ) with any
doubts you have. I am copying your message to the list already so that
the community knows about your intention.
At some point you will need an account in Sourceforge
(https://sourceforge.net/user/registration) as our project is hosted
there, and you will need to contact the project management committee
([email protected]) to become a developer.
Please take some time to read a bit more about how apertium works. We'll
be glad to answer your questions in the list and also at the IRC
channel #apertium at freenode.net (you can use
http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=apertium if you don't have an IRC
client).
All the best
Mikel L. Forcada

Dear Mr. Forcada,
I came to the site through Kevin Scannel (who developed An Crubadan),
who put together 5 million Tamil corpus, which we have used to create
a spellchecker for the language.
My questions:
1) Can apertium handle UTF-8, and in particular Tamil script
2) If yes, what should we do to start a project
I thank you in advance for your response.
Best regards,
Elanjelian
