Apertium is a free/open-source machine translation platform, initially aimed at related-language pairs but expanded to deal with more divergent language pairs (such as English-Catalan). The platform provides
a language-independent machine translation engine
tools to manage the linguistic data necessary to build a machine translation system for a given language pair and
linguistic data for a growing number of language pairs.
Apertium welcomes new developers: if you think you can improve the engine or the tools, or develop linguistic data for us, do not hesitate to contact us.
Documentation can be found on our Wiki under the Documentation sub-page. We have published various conference papers and journal articles, a list of which may be found on the Wiki under Publications.
Apertium Downloads
Current versions of the Apertium toolbox as well as of language-pair data are available from the GitHub page. Installation instructions for Apertium on all major platforms are provided on the Wiki's Installation page.
