About

This is a limited version (i.e. some text sources have been exluded) of the comprehensive Romanian - Aromanian parallel corpus (which you can find in this repo, too). The Aromanian counterpart is automatically converted to Cunia and DIARO standards. More details about its collection and how it was used for the AroTranslate system can be found in this paper and this paper.

Disclaimer

Aromanian is a very low resource language and is not standardized, having several varieties. Therefore, corpus quality is experimental, some sentences have been automatically aligned and may still contain errors. Moreover, there may occur translation errors, where certain information is missed or altered, or where the content is inappropriate.

We do not own the copyrights for any of these texts nor do we have any legal ownership or claim. We release them publicly with a non-commercial license based on informal or oral consent from the Aromanians involved in the community.
