Hi Okonkwo, The problem with this second version of your project is that it seems almost the same. The Igbo morphology seems to complex for developing a translator in a single GSoC, so forget about working on a bilingual dictionary. You should focus on the analyser, so the phases of your project should deal about which parts of the morphological analyser you implement, and the number of words you add. Your proposal should prove that you understand the difficulties of constructing such an analyser. Could you reach a naive coverage of 85% or 90%? At the end of the project, you could also think about a morphological disambiguator (maybe during a couple of weeks). At least, this is my opinion. Someone else can have another.
