Summary:

"To support the development of automatic machine translation systems, the LDC was sponsored to solicit English translations for a single set of Arabic source materials. The source Arabic text was selected and translated in different LDC projects during the time period of November, 2002 to February, 2004. A total of about 441K Arabic words were selected from three sources, namely Xinhua, AFP, and An Nahar, and translation services were provided by eight translation agencies, who translated each Arabic news story once. The Xinhua and An Nahar stories and their translations were created for TIDES Machine Translation, while the AFP stories and their English translations were created for TIDES TDT. The development of all these translations followed roughly the same guidelines and procedures."
