Hi, Thanks for the reply, I totally understand the need for the languages, even I have done and published some research work on Indian Languages. That's why I got interested and want to contribute to Apertium. As we have to use rule-based learning so as a native speaker I can only work on Hindi but I have seen no mentor knows it, so I just wanted to know can I still work and write a proposal for that? Also can you please give me an overview of how and where I can use the neural methods in Apertium. I am really interested to work on those projects. Thank You
