no etiendes español, but i did get that you want to build a machine translator for the mayan language and you've got some difficulty to make it work. right?

yerdax1485y@yerdax I am a math computer programming combo teacher, graduated at the University, local Maya people are rarely finishing primary school, my home language is Spanish, I started with English at age 15... None could imagine that Mayan would become curricula back then ....
