Hi everyone,

Many of the COVID documents in CC News are in foreign languages or in multiple languages.

Are those documents going to be assessed if retrieved by our systems?

Thanks,
Yassine

Non-English documents are not relevant, even if the document would be relevant in that non-English language.

I've added that information to the site. Thanks for pointing it out. We would filter the non-English documents out of the corpus, if we were supplying it directly.
