[Project-ideas] Introduction

[Shaumik Daityari]

Hi,

I found an open source tool, hjerson [0] which searches for the following
errors in translations:

- inflectional (morphological) errors, i.e. incorrect word forms
- reordering errors, i.e. incorrect word order
- missing words
- extra words
- lexical errors, i.e. incorrect lexical choice

You can find a more detailed description of the tool at [1].

Would I be going in the right direction by incorporating hjerson in the
project?
