Dear list, I'm hoping you'll humor an outsider working on a natural language machine learning question. If there's a more appropriate place to send my question, I'd be grateful if you'd let me know.
I've been using pairs of sentences from OpenOffice manuals in different languages (see here: http://opus.lingfil.uu.se/OpenOffice.php and here for a sample: http://opus.lingfil.uu.se/OpenOffice/de-en_sample.html) and I'm wondering, were the OpenOffice manuals all originally written in English, and then translated to other languages? Or might some of the manuals have been originally written in German (from the StarOffice days?), and then translated into English? And what is the process now--is English the source language for translations? Thanks in advance for your time and a great piece of software, which I use daily! Seth
