Dear J.L.,
another parallel corpus concerning latin languages is available on the
website of the Carmel Project (www.projetcarmel.org) : these are travel
stories of the 19th and early 20th century (Darwin, Loti, Stendhal,
Flaubert, Dickens, London, etc.), translated in English, French, Italian
and Spanish.
The corpus can be queried online, but it is also possible to download
some texts (all the original texts, and some translations that are old
enough !), with the alignment files. The texts are pos-tagged...
The website is still in construction and some data are not yet available
: I think it should be complete within one month.
You can find a review of links on my page :

If you need a tool to process the bilingual corpus (aligning at sentence
or word level, editing, searching, etc.) I have also put a free software
online (under Windows only):
Alinea :

(the latest version is not yet available, but previous ones can be
downloaded).

Olivier
