| 1. Description | |
| This package contains data sets for development and testing of machine | |
| translation of medical queries between Czech, English, French, German, | |
| Hungarian, Polish, Spanish ans Swedish. The queries come from general | |

| The original general public queries are sampled from the Health on the | |
| Net Foundation (http://www.HealthOnNet.org) query log from | |
| 11/2011-05/2012 and the original medical expert queries are sampled | |
| from the Trip database (http://www.tripdatabase.com) query log from | |
| 6/2011-12/2012. | |
| The translation were carried out by the Charles University in Prague. | |
| Translations into Czech, French and German were completed in 2013. | |
| Translations into Hungarian, Polish, Spanish and Swedish were completed | |

| 3. Data | |
| 3.1 Description | |
| The original queries in English were randomly selected from real user | |
| query logs provided by Health on the Net foundation (750 queries by | |
| general public) and from the Trip database [1] query log (758 queries | |
| by medical professionals) and translated to Czech, German, French, | |
| Hungarian, Polish, Spanish and Swedish by medical experts. The test | |
| sets can be used, for example, for the development and testing of | |
| machine translation of search queries in the medical domain. More | |
| details are provided in [2]. | |
| 3.2 Data format | |
| Data format follows these rules: | |
| * The data is split into 8 files, according to the section (dev/test) | |
| and language (CS - Czech, DE - German, FR - French, EN - English, ES | |
| - Spanish, HU - Hungarian, PL - Polish, SV - Swedish). | |
| * The files are in plain text using the UTF-8 encoding. | |
| * Each line contains a single query. | |
| * Translations are identified by line numbers. | |
