# Parallel Global Voices (English-French)

Parallel Global Voices EN-FR is a parallel corpus generated from the Global Voices multilingual group of websites (http://globalvoices.org/), where volunteers publish and translate news stories in more than 40 languages. The original content from the Global Voices websites is available by the authors and publishers under a Creative Commons Attribution license. The content was crawled in July-August 2015 by researchers at the NLP group of the Institute for Language and Speech Processing. Documents that are translations of each other were paired on the basis of their link information. After document pairing, segment alignments were automatically extracted. The results of the automatic alignment at document and segment level are distributed under a Creative Commons Attribution license.
