Hello all,

I am glad to announce that the Romanian-Catalan pair (apertium-ron-cat) is
now ready to be packaged and released to the public. The pair should also
be moved to trunk (it is currently in the nursery).

This pair was developed as part of GSoC 2018 and for the first time
provides direct translation between the two languages (other translation
platforms use English as a pivot language). While still falling behind
other platforms, specially in the Catalan>Romanian direction, which is the
less developed and has a WER/PER of 52.9%/44.8%, I think results for the
Romanian>Catalan are good enough (39%/28.8% WER/PER) considering the
limited development time. For comparison, Google and Yandex score
12.6%/8.7% and 29.3%/21.4% respectively when translating from Romanian to
Catalan.

I would also like to take this opportunity to remind that the updated
English-Catalan pair (apertium-eng-cat) developed as part of GSoC 2017 is
still due packaging and release. It was previously blocked by a few bugs in
apertium-separable and apertium-tagger, but as far as I know these have
been fixed.

Thanks to everyone for the support!

*Marc Riera*
