The EU concerted action TELRI has released a two-volume CD-ROM, which contains multilingual language resources, namely corpora, lexica, and tools for language engineering. This CD-ROM provides harmonised resources for unprecedented numbers and kinds of languages, mainly from non-EU countries, for which such resources still tend to be scarce. The first volume of the CD includes the aligned text of Plato’s Republic in twenty one languages, while the second volume contains extended results of the EU MULTEXTEast project, including the aligned and tagged novel ’1984’ by Goerge Orwell and accompanying lexica in seven languages. The paper presents the CD-ROM, the methods employed in its creation and its prospective uses.
