    Francois,

    There will be a Workshop on "Multilingual Corpora: Linguistic
    Requirements and Technical Perspectives" at Lancaster on 27th March,
    one of the pre-conference workshops for Corpus Linguistics 2003, see
    http://www.comp.lancs.ac.uk/ucrel/cl2003/ - main Conference
    http://www.coli.uni-sb.de/muco03/ - workshop

    It's not too late to submit a paper, the deadline is 20 Jan,
    so I hope you can contribute!

    Debbie Elliott, PhD student here at Leeds, is also collecting a
    multilingual corpus (for evaluation of MT); she will be presenting a
    paper on "Rationale for a Multilingual Aligned Corpus for Machine
    Translation Evaluation" at CL2003, so we will be interested in
    other replies you get to your posting.
