## Context
DGT-TM is a translation memory (sentences and their manually produced translations) in 24 languages. It contains segments from the Acquis Communautaire, the body of European legislation, comprising all the treaties, regulations and directives adopted by the European Union (EU). Since each new country joining the EU is required to accept the whole Acquis Communautaire, this body of legislation has been translated into 24 official languages. For the 23rd official EU language, Irish, the Acquis is not translated on a regular basis; which is why DGT-TM includes only a small amount of data in Irish. The 2014 release of DGT-TM brought the translations for the 24th official language Croatian.
## Content
DGT-TM is an extraction of the translation memory of the European Institutions built from the 'Acquis Communautaire' for all 24 official EU languages:
English (EN), Bulgarian (BG), Croatian (HR), Czech (CS), Danish (DA), Dutch (NL), Estonian (ET), German (DE), Greek (EL), Finnish (FI), French (FR), Irish (GA), Hungarian (HU), Italian (IT), Latvian (LV), Lithuanian (LT), Maltese (MT), Polish (PL), Portuguese (PT), Romanian (RO), Slovak (SK), Slovene (SL), Spanish (ES) and Swedish (SV). It is produced by the European Commission’s Directorate General for Translation (DGT) and distributed by the Joint Research Centre (JRC). There are more than 5 Million translation sentences in each language!
## Inspiration
This resource has many uses for translation studies and for language technology applications, including Statistical Machine Translation (SMT), terminology extraction, Named Entity Recognition (NER), multilingual classification and clustering, and many more!
