[Corpora-List] UN documents also in German

[Raphael Salkie]

As well as the six languages listed in Bill Fletcher's helpful message, many
UN documents are also available in German.  The UN Documentation Centre page
has a link to "documents in German", as well as to the search page that Bill
gives, at this URL:

http://www.un.org/documents/

If you find a specific document using the search page, versions in languages
other than the six are indicated as "other languages", which in practice
often means German.

Has anyone found a source of UN documents in other languages?

Collection

The United Nations Official Document System has just been launched
online at
  http://documents.un.org/
( http://www.resourceshelf.com/summarizes the main features and other UN
resources)

It consists of 800,000 searchable parallel documents in Arabic, Chinese,
English, French, Russian and Spanish, primarily in PDF and / or MS Word
format, and is growing at a rate of 100k documents a year.  Searches are
limited to 1000 hits.  While the register and domain are limited, it
seems to be a useful resource for linguists and translators.
