Apertium Project works on open-source machine translation and language technology, with a focus on lesser-resourced and marginalized languages, but also work with larger languages. To date, translators for 21 language pairs are released, covering languages spoken by 1.1 billion people, ranging from English (est. 500m speakers) to Aranese (est. 4,000 speakers).
