Bottom-left triangle: download files

ces = sentence alignments in XCES format
leftmost column language IDs = corpus files in XML
TMX and plain text files (Moses): see "Statistics" below
lower row language IDs = parsed corpus files (if they exist)

Upper-right triangle: sample files

view = bilingual XML file samples
upper row language IDs = monolingual XML file samples
rightmost column language IDs = parsed XML file samples (if they exist)

Statistics and TMX/Moses Downloads

Number of files, tokens, and sentences per language (including non-parallel ones if they exist)
Number of sentence alignment units per language pair

Upper-right triangle: download translation memory files (TMX)
Bottom-left triangle: download plain text files (MOSES/GIZA++)


language	files	tokens	sentences	af	el	en	zh
af	1	0.4M	63.1k			52.1k
el	1	0.2M	8.5k			7.0k
en	3	0.7M	73.9k	57.4k	8.2k		2.2k
zh	1	61.5k	2.2k			2.2k

Note that TMX files only contain unique translation units and, therefore, the number of aligned units is smaller than for the distributions in Moses and XML format. Moses downloads include all non-empty alignment units including duplicates. Token counts for each language also include duplicate sentences and documents.
