    The United Nations Official Document System has just been launched
    online at
      http://documents.un.org/
    ( http://www.resourceshelf.com/summarizes the main features and other UN
    resources)

    It consists of 800,000 searchable parallel documents in Arabic, Chinese,
    English, French, Russian and Spanish, primarily in PDF and / or MS Word
    format, and is growing at a rate of 100k documents a year. Searches are
    limited to 1000 hits. While the register and domain are limited, it
    seems to be a useful resource for linguists and translators.
