[Sugar-devel] Chat Activity with translation

[Aneesh Dogra]

Hey Prannoy,

Its good that you decided to do a GSOC project for us. Thanks! For "Chat
Activity with translation" project you need to first of all research on the
translation system options we have. "Meeting" uses Apertium, is it the best
alternative available? Then you need to form a blue print on how you would
the chat activity interact with the translation server?

For this particular task you'll be doing more work with translation systems
and the server end, than the sugar activity itself.

We'll be requiring an easily callable translation API at the server end.
The client (i.e the activity) will sent GET/POST requests to the server
containing in them the text to be translated.
The server should then respond with GET/POST requests containing in them
the translated text.
The client intercepts the request and displays the translated text.

Important trade-offs to compare when searching for a good machine
translation system:

1) Speed
2) Server Load/Requirements
3) Language Pairs
