[Corpora-List] Calling for OUP licensees

[Serge Sharoff]

Ken,

We got four bilingual dictionaries (French, German, Russian and Spanish) and used them for experiments in machine translation and training of translators.  There're many problems with encoding of translation equivalents.  I developed a Perl script that tres to extract some information and store it in the TEI format, but the results are far from being perfect (and I mostly worked on the Russian dictionary, but the script also extracts smthg from the other three).  I'm ready to share the script and I'll also be interested in knowing your experience in dealing with the data.

Best wishes,
Serge
