Abstract
What determines the quality of parallel corpora? Firstly, it is determined by the quality of the translation. However, in this paper, we consider not the substantial quality of the translation, but the “technical” quality of parallel texts. Parallel texts are collected from different sources and often such texts have the following disadvantages: language mixing, font mixing, text alignment problems, the need for manual correction of parallel texts. All these problems require, firstly, their recognition, and secondly, they need to be resolved, and with large volumes of parallel texts, performing these operations manually is a very time-consuming process. Therefore, the work proposes an integrated technology for creating parallel corpora, which allows to minimize the number of manual operations. The authors present the technology as an example of a new linguistic resource - an open Kazakh-English parallel corpus.
