TRAD Chinese-French Parallel Text -- Blog

<h3>Introduction</h3><br>
<p>TRAD Chinese-French Parallel Text -- Blog was developed by <a href="http://elda.org/en/">ELDA</a> as part of the <a href="http://www.elra.info/en/projects/archived-projects/pea-trad/">PEA-TRAD project</a>. It contains French translations of a subset of approximately 10,000 Chinese words from GALE Phase 1 Chinese Blog Parallel Text (<a href="../../../LDC2008T06">LDC2008T06</a>).</p><br>
<p>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.</p><br>
<p>The Linguistic Data Consortium (LDC) has also released the following TRAD corpora:</p><br>
