I'm looking for a sponsor to upload apertium and related shared library and development package.
ITP here: http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2005/08/msg00084.html (I have been in contact with Sergio who filed the ITP. He is ok with me packaging it as he is busy). Package here: http://82.133.33.43/~spectre/apertium/apertium/ Package details: Package name : apertium Version : 1.0.1 Upstream Author : University of Alicante URL : http://apertium.sourceforge.net License : GPL Description : A shallow-transfer machine translation engine. Apertium is an open-source shallow-transfer machine translation engine, initially aimed at related-language pairs. It uses finite-state transducers for lexical processing, hidden Markov models for part-of-speech tagging, and finite-state based chunking for structural transfer. The system is largely based upon systems already developed by the Transducens group at the Universitat d'Alacant, such as interNOSTRUM (Spanish-Catalan, http://www.internostrum.com/welcome.php) and Traductor Universia (Spanish-Portuguese, http://traductor.universia.net). It will be possible to use Apertium to build machine translation systems for a variety of related-language pairs simply providing the linguistic data needed in the right format.
