The EuroparlTV Multimedia Parallel Corpus (EMPAC) is a collection of subtitles in English and Spanish for videos from the EuropeanParliament’s Multimedia Centre. The corpus has been compiled with the EMPAC toolkit. The aim of this corpus is to provide a resource to study institutional subtitling on the one hand, and, on the other hand, facilitate the analysis of web accessibility to institutional multimedia content. The corpus covers a time span from 2009 to 2017, it is made up of 4,000 texts amounting to two and half millions of tokens for every language, corresponding to approximately 280 hours of video. This paper provides 1) a review of related corpora; 2) a revision of typical compilation methodologies of subtitle corpora; 3) a detailed account of the corpus compilation methodology followed; and, 4) a description of the corpus. In the conclusion, the key findings are summarised regarding formal aspects of the subtitles conditioning the accessibility to the multimedia content of the EuroparlTV.

In this paper, we present a freely available corpus of human and automatic translations of subtitles. The corpus comprises the original English subtitles (SRC), both human (HT) and machine translations (MT) into German, as well as post-editions (PE) of the MT output. HT and MT are annotated with errors. Moreover, human evaluation is included in HT, MT, and PE. Such a corpus is a valuable resource for both human and machine translation communities, enabling the direct comparison – in terms of errors and evaluation – between human and machine translations and post-edited machine translations.
