Google Summer of Code

Ideas

Ideas should relate to l10n or i18n. Areas considered are:

• CAT tool improvements
• work on dictionaries or thesaurus

More detailed ideas, of which partial implementations could be chosen as GSoC, follow.

Pology integration into Lokalize

Brief explanation: Pology integration into Lokalize so QA tools are directly available from within the UI.

Expected results:

• Lokalize is expected to act as a pology client
• QA analysis should be accesible from within the project tab and when switching between translation units
• Any file accessed by pology's scripts or hooks should be modifiable by the user at any time.
• Specialised dictionary management through a built in Lokalize menu
• Spell check-in uses specialised dictionaries on the fly
• Translator tips on hook behaviour(#|, no-check-spell e # well-spelled:) edition from within file edition window
• check-rules hook can be configured and called from either the project tab or from the unit translation panel, by request or on the fly. Show "# skip-rule:" option when running live.
• Grammar check-in through check-grammar hook.
• Agárdase que o usuario poida aplicar a comprobación de validez segundo os criterios do proxecto (vale, na actualidade só hai para kde e para o wesnoth).

Knowledge prerequisites:

• KDE development stack (Qt/C++ and git)

Pology enhacement: add check-spell-hunspell hook

Brief explanation: hunspell's based grammar checker.

Expected results:

• Use of specialised dictionaries so new affixes info can be added

LanguageTool rules enhacement for galician language

Brief explanation: LanguageTool stemming and segmentation improvements for galician language. New rules definition.

Mellora da segmentación e engadido de máis regras.

Expected results:

• Phrase segmentation improvement.

Knowledge prerequisites:

Mentor: TBD Consultant: TBD

Web based terminology discussion tool

Brief explanation:

Expected results:

• Should be able to handle several multilingual glossaries
• Should be able to handle terminologial entries information like definitions, concept relationships, part of speech...
• Should be able to provide a discussion thread for language in each terminological entry
• Should provide search capabilities
• Should be able to export the glossaries to TBX (TermBase eXchange ISO 30042) format
• Should provide a way to integrate with other already existing localization tools

Knowledge prerequisites: no requirements. But the knowledge of what terminology is, TBX format understanding, programming language knowledge (preferrably Python) or even knowledge of web development frameworks (preferrably Django) will be appreciated.
