JRC-Acquis and DGT Translation Memory (DGT-TM)

cosci@celct.it (TrebleCLEF) — Tue, 03 Jun 2008 00:00:00 +0200

This is an update regarding the two freely available multilingual resources JRC-Acquis and DGT Translation Memory (DGT-TM), distributed by the European Commission�s Joint Research Centre (JRC):

(1) For version 3.0 of the multilingual parallel corpus JRC-Acquis (22 languages, 231 language pairs; 1 Billion words), bilingual alignments have now also been produced with the alignment tool HunAlign. Until recently, only Vanilla alignments were available. This additional resource will allow comparison and benchmarking of alignment software for a wide variety of language pairs, and users can choose the alignments that suit them better.

(2) Following frequent user requests, the tool to extract bilingual translation memories for all 231 DGT-TM language pairs is now available as Java byte code so that the extraction tool can be used on operating systems other than Windows.

For more information on both resources, see http://langtech.jrc.it/JRC-Acquis.html and http://langtech.jrc.it/JRC-Acquis.html.
