This report documents our work on producing a hand word aligned corpus for Arabic-English. We describe the corpus, the guidelines given to the annotators, and a measurement of the intra- and inter-annotator agreement. This corpus has been used as training material for both word alignment algorithms and machine translation algorithms.
