[Corpora-List] CoNLL to Penn TreeBank conversion

Hi, 
would it be an option to use directly a constituent parser (trained on the small Cast3LB treebank)?
If that's the case  the pcfg-la grammars and morphological models  we generated last summer can be made available quite quickly. 
"Statistical Parsing of Spanish and Data Driven Lemmatization" (Le Roux, Sagot and Seddah, SPMRL 2012)

Note that you'll probably need to use a functional labeler if you want complete parses (eg. with function labels)

Best,
Djamé
ps: there were works done by M. Collins and collegues on Czech and a whole line of works actively pursued in dependency to constituent conversion by Fei Xia and colleagues.
Long story short: it's really not easy. Why don't use the Anchora corpus which is free, quite large and provides both constituents and dependencies?
