Corpora: Parallel corpus

[Martin Wynne]

TRACTOR has many language resources in East European languages,
including parallel corpora.

Take a look at the website www.tractor.de to see what is
available. You may be interested in Plato's Republic with sentence
alignment in all language pairs for Bulgarian, Czech, German, English,
French, Croatian, Lithuanian, Polish, Serbo-Croat, Slovakian and
Slovene. These texts and alignments were previously released on the
TELRI 'East meets West' CD-ROM, edited by Tomaz Erjavec, Ann Lawson
and Laurent Romary.

Many members of the TRACTOR User Community are currently developing and
using parallel corpora, and so anyone else working in this area is very
welcome to get involved. One current project is the extension of the
Plato project to new language pairs, alignment programs and markup
schemes.

Best wishes,
Martin
