	We taught a group of over 20 participants (philologists, linguists, and computer scientists from Tatarstan, Udmurtia, Komi Republic, Mari El, Bashqortostan, Chuvashia, Kirov, Perm, Moscow, St. Petersburg, and Latvia), who over the period of 5 days learned how to build a machine translation system from scratch with the Apertium platform. In that time, each participant managed to create a basic machine translation system between a pair of languages (including Chuvash-Turkish, Udmurt-Russian, Tatar-Bashqort, and Finnish-Estonian). Several of these projects are being actively continued, and we hope to see computational resources for the languages of Russia grow.[[#Footnotes\|¹]]		We taught a group of over 20 participants (philologists, linguists, and computer scientists from Tatarstan, Udmurtia, Komi Republic, Mari El, Bashqortostan, Chuvashia, Kirov, Perm, Moscow, St. Petersburg, and Latvia), who over the period of 5 days learned how to build a machine translation system from scratch with the Apertium platform.
