Existing parallel wiki corpora #6

People thinking of doing this with current data dumps from Wikipedia may be interested in looking at existing historical parallel corpora of article titles in multiple languages collected as part of the open-dict-data project. For example, the wikidict-en repo contains parallel article titles in English and 115 other languages. (For pairs with other languages look in the main open-dict-data repo list for "wikidict-" plus the desired ISO code.)

These dumps were originally used to create language learning dictionaries (for use in programs like Goldendict etc), but they could also be useful for comparing old and new datasets -- generated with wikipedia-parallel-titles -- and so on.
