I had a look at the 2004 data, and
it appears that the fragments here are often entire sentences, or even two or three sentences (probably as in one of the other languages it's just one sentence). So that would be like Europarl. But for Europarl, I know that a sentence aligner was used. So what's the difference?</span></div><div style="color:rgb(0, 0,
