Is there a corpus of Sanskrit->English translations?

[Shreevatsa R]

Am curious about the state of publicly available data: does there exist / has anyone compiled a set of parallel Sanskrit / English texts, or a corpus of sentences (say a few hundred thousand simple sentences) translated from one language into the other? The application would be for use in training ML (not by me).

If not, how large is the largest corpus you're aware of?

You may take a look at this site for Sanskrit to English translation.

Thanks, that's a start. I can see parallel English text at http://sanskritbible.in/readmode.html and

- there seem to be about 8508 sentences total,

- the text is CC-BY-SA licensed, based on the Bible "published by Calcutta Baptist Missionaries in 1851", 

- the language is not very idiomatic but also not entirely garbage either.

Now I just want a corpus that's 10x or 100x the size :-)

This parallel Sanskrit / English text can be read in all Indic languages via Read my language. We need to provide Sanskrit knowledge via translation and transliteration to all.
