Hi Khamesi<br>
<br>
According to this website<br>
<a href="http://opus.lingfil.uu.se/">http://opus.lingfil.uu.se/</a><br>
There are 3 freely available parallel corpora for persian-english:<br>
TEP<br>
KDE<br>
OpenSubtitles<br>
<br>
I've noticed other people, especially in Tehran, are also working on MT and collect data, eg.<br>
