Right. And adding or improving a language pair is already a project of its
own, which needs a lot of work.

If you finally feel like doing it, the Romanian-English pair would hardly
be of special interest. It might be interesting to improve the two existing
Romanian-Spanish and Romanian-Catalan pairs. The former is published but
seems to be abandoned and does not use apertium-rom or apertium-spa, which
would immediately lead to an improvement. On the other hand, I don't know
to what extent it would be interesting to add more words in apertium-rom
and, above all, to work more on morphological disambiguation. I guess it
would, but I can't say anything about the priority. Marc Riera knows much
better about the state of apertium-rom.
