[Student-projects] Varnam project status

[Abhishek Nair]

Hey Navaneeth, appreciate the reply. I tried the Varnam editor yesterday
and the I loved how exact the translation was. However a few issues came up
when i typed in proper nouns (eg. My name, place) and with articles ( eg.
a, the) and more so when you type backspace and retype it. That is one
issue I can start working with. Also, my hindi is better than my malayalam
so would love a chance to contribute there too. I understand both are two
totally different topics but both seem extremely interesting to me. Would
love a suggestion about which one to focus on!
