Also, If someone proposes an alternative translation to a phrase, rather than writing rules for disambiguation, lexical selection, transfer, generation, etc. to fix the translation, there should be an option to just add it to the translation memory until someone properly analyses it and adds the rules. I know a TM exists in Apertium already, but I'm not sure if it's being used on apertium.org, plus user given translations can definitely improve TMs for language pairs that don't have a lot of parallel corpora to learn TMs from.
