TRAD Arabic-French Parallel Text Newswire

TRAD Arabic-French Parallel Text -- Newswire was developed by ELDA as part of the PEA-TRAD project. It contains French translations of a subset of approximately 20,000 Arabic words from NIST 2008 Open Machine Translation (OpenMT) Evaluation (LDC2010T21). 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 Chinese-French Parallel Text -- Broadcast News (LDC2018T17)
