Investigate the Internationalization API of Facebook
The current GF Grammar Compiler API is providing translation services that can be called on-the-fly. The goal of this task is to find out how to integrate them to an existing API where there is a need for Internationalization, example Facebook https://developers.facebook.com/docs/internationalization.
The image shows how translations are entered manually in the current version. My guess is that we could improve on that.
Anther example is the situation of commonly used sentences: "Happy birthday", we have on our Travel Phrasebook, we do not have Portuguese, we could friends-source it :) but how? Give them a FB app?
Love to see some comments on this.
BTW, I am not partial to FB, you can check any social network of your liking that provides an Internationalization API. This is a test of concept also looking for CNLs in the wild :)

Bing translation on Facebook
Today I noticed that a link "See Translation" appeared under the posts of Sjöräddningssällskapet, the volunteer-base sea rescue service in Sweden. I attach the screenshots of one such translations for you to see whether this kind of language would be a possible candidate for exploiting MOLTO's results.
