Unless Apple change their ways, an offline Apertium translator will not be allowed in the App Store. It would be possible to create a non-GPL app from scratch which gets translations from an apertium installation running on a server. The app creator should probably run their own api server since api.apertium.org apparantly is down a lot. But an online translator app sort of takes away one of the main selling points – why not just use a web site in that case? You can even have OCR; iOS 6+ allows web pages access to the camera with a simple HTML tag, so you could make a web site that lets you take a picture of some Kyrgyz with your phone, run it through OCR and Apertium on the server and send back the translation in Kazakh. And the web page would run not only on iOS. -- Kevin Brubeck Unhammer GPG: 0x766AC60C
