With the rising importance of multilingualism in language industries, brought about by global markets and world-wide information exchange, parallel corpora, that is, corpora of texts accompanied by their translation, have become key resources in the development of natural language processing tools. The applications based upon parallel corpora are numerous and growing in number: for example, multilingual lexicography and terminology, machine and human translation, cross-language information retrieval, and language learning. The book's chapters have been commissioned from major figures in the field of parallel corpus building and exploitation, with the aim of showing the state-of-the art in parallel text alignment.

From the reviews: "Parallel Text Processing succeeds admirably at its goals and will be of use to a wide range of people...I can easily imagine using this book both to introduce ideas in a graduate seminar and as a reference for research...All readers will be grateful that the editor chose to include separate and fairly thorough indexes for terms, authors, and languages and writing systems." (Philip Resnik, Computational Linguistics, 27:04)
