Hi, offering non-released language pairs to non-expert users may accelerate the development of new language pairs if we collect information from the users. Víctor Manuel Sánchez Cartagena described un interestering project in a previous post:
"very common sequences in a monolingual corpus in SL are provided to non-expert users, and they are asked to translate them. They are encouraged to use the translation of each word according to the bilingual dictionary and the context of the segment to translate in the SL monolingual corpus is also provided." My idea is to offer users to try unreleased pairs and simultaneously offer them the the opportunity to contribute in various ways, cf Google translate: "Suggest a better translation". We need a built in system for reporting and collecting errors and suggestions, as an input for the developers. It should be simple to suggest a new or better translation for a word or expression. Reactions from real users would also be stimulating for the developers. It's more satisfying to sit with tedious work if you know that some one cares about the result of your efforts. Thus, an implementation of a system for user contributions would be of double use: accelerating the development from two sides.
