You've already got this suggestion listed on your GSoC project page here: http://wiki.gnucap.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=gnucap:projects#language_translator_main_program ...but it's only two sentences. I wonder if it would make sense to flesh out the project description a little bit more so that an interested student could get a good picture of your idea?
