[Corpora-List] BILINGUAL PARALLEL CORPORA

[Philipp Koehn]

Hi,

large available corpora for the languages in questions
are the Europarl http://www.statmt.org/europarl/ and
Acquis Communitair http://langtech.jrc.it/JRC-Acquis.html
corpora.

I am not sure what you mean by your second question.
What is the purpose of such a tool? There are tools out
there that do word alignment, build statistical machine
translation models, etc.

Also, the size of the corpus very much depends on
what you want to do with it. For statistical machine
translation, 1 million words goes a long way, although
recent systems are typically trained on more data.

Regards,
Philipp Koehn
