[Corpora-List] European Constitution in parallel

[Joerg Tiedemann]

follow-up ....

I just realized that there are some additional problems with character 
encodings. Latvian and Lithuanian should be supported by 
ISO-8859-4 according to information I found. However, I got serious 
trouble when converting from UTF-8 to ISO for these languages. Did the 
alphabet change recently or is the ISO standard just useless?

Now, I changed the Latvian and Lithuanian texts from the EUconst corpus to 
UTF-8 in the CWB index. Looks good but is difficult to query for 
diacritics. Check:
http://logos.uio.no/cgi-bin/opus/opuscqp.pl?corpus=EUconst;lang=lt
http://logos.uio.no/cgi-bin/opus/opuscqp.pl?corpus=EUconst;lang=lv

Let me know if there is a 8-bit code that can be (is) used for these 
2 languages.
