Data
-----
We have collected English-Odia parallel data for the purposes of NLP
research of the Odia language.
The data for the parallel corpus was extracted from existing parallel
corpora such as OdiEnCorp 1.0 and PMIndia, and books which contain both
English and Odia text such as grammar and bilingual literature books. We
also included parallel text from multiple public websites such as Odia
Wikipedia, Odia digital library, and Odisha Government websites.
The parallel corpus covers many domains: the Bible, other literature,
Wiki data relating to many topics, Government policies, and general
conversation. We have processed the raw data collected from the books,
websites, performed sentence alignments (a mix of manual and automatic
alignments) and released the corpus in a form suitable for various NLP
tasks.
Corpus Format
-------------
OdiEnCorp 2.0 is stored in simple tab-delimited plain text files, each
with three tab-delimited columns:
- a coarse indication of the domain
- the English sentence
- the corresponding Odia sentence
The corpus is shuffled at the level of sentence pairs.
The coarse domains are:
books ... prose text
dict ... dictionaries and phrasebooks
govt ... partially formal text
odiencorp10 ... OdiEnCorp 1.0 (mix of domains)
pmindia ... PMIndia (the original corpus)
wikipedia ... sentences and phrases from Wikipedia
Data Statistics
---------------
The statistics of the current release are given below.
Note that the statistics differ from those reported in the paper due to
deduplication at the level of sentence pairs. The deduplication was
performed within each of the dev set, test set and training set and
taking the coarse domain indication into account. It is still possible
that the same sentence pair appears more than once within the same set
(dev/test/train) if it came from different domains, and it is also
possible that a sentence pair appears in several sets (dev/test/train).

"Sents" are the counts of the sentence pairs in the given set (dev/test/train)
and domain (books/dict/...).
"# EN" and "# OD" are approximate counts of words (simply space-delimited,
without tokenization) in English and Odia
The total number of sentence pairs (lines) is 13544+14344+69370=97258. Ignoring
the set and domain and deduplicating again, this number drops to 94857.

We define "optimal reference translation" as a translation thought to be the best possible that can be achieved by a team of human translators. Optimal reference translations can be used in assessments of excellent machine translations.
We selected 50 documents (online news articles, with 579 paragraphs in total) from the 130 English documents included in the WMT2020 news test (http://www.statmt.org/wmt20/) with the aim to preserve diversity (style, genre etc.) of the selection. In addition to the official Czech reference translation provided by the WMT organizers (P1), we hired two additional translators (P2 and P3, native Czech speakers) via a professional translation agency, resulting in three independent translations. The main contribution of this dataset are two additional translations (i.e. optimal reference translations N1 and N2), done jointly by two translators-cum-theoreticians with an extreme care for various aspects of translation quality, while taking into account the translations P1-P3. We publish also internal comments (in Czech) for some of the segments.
Translation N1 should be closer to the English original (with regards to the meaning and linguistic structure) and female surnames use the Czech feminine suffix (e.g. "Mai" is translated as "Maiová"). Translation N2 is more free, trying to be more creative, idiomatic and entertaining for the readers and following the typical style used in Czech media, while still preserving the rules of functional equivalence. Translation N2 is missing for the segments where it was not deemed necessary to provide two alternative translations. For applications/analyses needing translation of all segments, this should be interpreted as if N2 is the same as N1 for a given segment.
We provide the dataset in two formats: OpenDocument spreadsheet (odt) and plain text (one file for each translation and the English original). Some words were highlighted using different colors during the creation of optimal reference translations; this highlighting and comments are present only in the odt format (some comments refer to row numbers in the odt file). Documents are separated by empty lines and each document starts with a special line containing the document name (e.g. "# upi.205735"), which allows alignment with the original WMT2020 news test. For the segments where N2 translations are missing in the odt format, the respective N1 segments are used instead in the plain-text format.
Preamble 1.0 is a multilingual annotated corpus of the preamble of the EU REGULATION 2020/2092 OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL. The corpus consists of four language versions of the preamble (Czech, English, French, Polish), each of them annotated with sentence subjects.
The data were annotated in the Brat tool (https://brat.nlplab.org/) and are distributed in the Brat native format, i.e. each annotated preamble is represented by the original plain text and a stand-off annotation file.
The dataset used for the Ptakopět experiment on outbound machine translation. It consists of screenshots of web forms with user queries entered. The queries are available also in a text form. The dataset comprises two language versions: English and Czech. Whereas the English version has been fully post-processed (screenshots cropped, queries within the screenshots highlighted, dataset split based on its quality etc.), the Czech version is raw as it was collected by the annotators.
The SynSemClass synonym verb lexicon is a result of a project investigating semantic ‘equivalence’ of verb senses and their valency behavior in parallel Czech-English language resources, i.e., relating verb meanings with respect to contextually-based verb synonymy.

Part of the dataset are files reflecting interannotator agreement.
AMALACH project component TMODS:ENG-CZE; machine translation of queries from Czech to English. This archive contains models for the Moses decoder (binarized, pruned to allow for real-time translation) and configuration files for the MTMonkey toolkit. The aim of this package is to provide a full service for Czech->English translation which can be easily utilized as a component in a larger software solution. (The required tools are freely available and an installation guide is included in the package.)
The translation models were trained on CzEng 1.0 corpus and Europarl. Monolingual data for LM estimation additionally contains WMT news crawls until 2013.

This is the first release of the UFAL Parallel Corpus of North Levantine, compiled by the Institute of Formal and Applied Linguistics (ÚFAL) at Charles University within the Welcome project (https://welcome-h2020.eu/). The corpus consists of 120,600 multiparallel sentences in English, French, German, Greek, Spanish, and Standard Arabic selected from the OpenSubtitles2018 corpus [1] and manually translated into the North Levantine Arabic language. The corpus was created for the purpose of training machine translation for North Levantine and the other languages.
