Amir, First of all a big thank you as a speaker of Catalan and fervent advocate of minoritary languages.
OTOH, I would like to bring awareness to the topic of translation engine. Apertium is no longer supported as a GsoC project, I guess the project will keep alive but it worries me that downstream we reap the benefits without considering that the upstream projects might need support too. I wish that the conversation thread that was started long ago to support upstream projects also includes now open sourced translation tools because as your number show, they seem very relevant.
