Virtaal has a plugin since version 0.4 to provide the Apertium output as suggestions. Contact the Apertium project for information on what language pairs are supported, what quality can be expected, and to hear how to get involved. More information is available on [[ http://wiki.apertium.org/|their wiki]].

Also keep in mind that your source text is sent unencrypted over the Internet, and therefore no confidential translation should be done using this plug-in.
