[Corpora-List] BILINGUAL PARALLEL CORPORA

[Joerg Tiedemann]

Look also at OPUS:
http://logos.uio.no/opus/

It's free and (sentence) aligned (but not corrected).
The cleanest parts are probably:

OpenOffice manuals (http://logos.uio.no/opus/oo.html)
and the EU constitution (http://logos.uio.no/opus/EUconst.html)
EuroParl is also part of OPUS (tokenized and aligned in XML)

The search interface is on-line again:
http://logos.uio.no/cgi-bin/opus/opuscqp.pl

The interface uses the corpus workbench (CWB) from IMS Stuttgart
(ftp://ftp.ims.uni-stuttgart.de/pub/outgoing/cwb-beta/index.html)
You can get the cgi-script for the search interface if you like.

There are also web-based tools for processing parallel corpora in Uplug
(http://sourceforge.net/projects/uplug)
Look at the demo at http://www.let.rug.nl/~tiedeman/uplug-demo/
