TRAD Chinese-French Parallel Text Broadcast News

TRAD Chinese-French Parallel Text -- Broadcast News was developed by ELDA as part of the PEA-TRAD project. It contains French translations of a subset of approximately 30,000 Chinese characters from GALE Phase 1 Chinese Broadcast News Parallel Text - Part 3 (LDC2008T18). The PEA-TRAD project (Translation as a Support for Document Analysis) was supported by the French Ministry of Defense (DGA). Its purpose was to develop speech-to-speech translation technology for multiple languages (e.g., Arabic, Chinese, Pashto) from a variety of domains. ELDA developed several corpora for this effort. The Linguistic Data Consortium (LDC) has also released the following TRAD corpora: TRAD Chinese-French Parallel Text -- Blog (LDC2018T02) TRAD Arabic-French Parallel Text -- Newsgroup (LDC2018T13) TRAD Arabic-French Parallel Text -- Newswire (LDC2018T21)TRAD 中法平行文本——广播新闻（TRAD Chinese-French Parallel Text -- Broadcast News）由ELDA作为PEA-TRAD项目的一部分开发。该数据集包含来自GALE第一阶段中文广播新闻平行文本-第3部分（LDC2008T18）中约3万个汉字子集的法语文本译稿。PEA-TRAD项目（Translation as a Support for Document Analysis）由法国国防部（DGA）资助，其研发目标是开发面向多语种（如阿拉伯语、汉语、普什图语）、覆盖多领域的口语到口语翻译技术。ELDA为该项目构建了多个语料库。语言数据联盟（Linguistic Data Consortium，LDC）亦发布了以下TRAD系列语料库：TRAD 中法平行文本——博客（LDC2018T02）、TRAD 阿法平行文本——新闻组（LDC2018T13）以及TRAD 阿法平行文本——新闻专线（LDC2018T21）
