Nice, but why only English?

If i understand the proposal correctly, this project is supposed to be
able to work with almost any language with very little effort.

Amir,

Thank you for your GSOC proposal! :)

Between now and Google's submission deadline on April 6th - you are invited to further modify your proposals. The GSOC page on MW.org - https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/GSOC - and our IRC rooms - https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki_on_IRC

Looking over your proposal - I think you've got good background information on yourself. However, I think you should flush out more details on the proposed project. Without more familiarity with corpus (and with no links to find that info) - it's hard for everyone to weigh in equally or to make sure your project gets the full consideration you'd like.

Whoops - I meant that email to be directed to Karthik - although Amir you're welcome to read it as well. :)
