Description

The configuration file for Apertium indicates that it supports the English(en) to Serbo-croatian (sh) language pair. However, that language does not appear as supported in the Apertium website, and produces lot of errors when used:

The purpose of this ticket is to check the configuration to confirm whether the corresponding en-sh package exist, and update the configuration accordingly.

Pginer-WMF moved this task from Quarter Backlog to Priority Backlog on the Language-Team (Language-2020-October-December) board.

eng-hbs (English -> Serbo-croation) pair is installed on our server.
hbs is correctly mapped to 'sh' in mapping file. (cxserver/lib/mt/Apertium.languagenames.json)
Translation quality is very low for this pair in Apertium. We can disable this pair for Apertium, if required.

Thanks for checking and reporting on the current situation, @KartikMistry.
I think that an immediate step would be making Google the default service for Serbo-croatian.

In that way, Apertium can be still accessed to those really interested (e.g., for checking if improves in the future).
