6 Conclusions
</SectionTitle>
    <Paragraph position="0"> We have reported on our experiments for building a German-Swedish parallel treebank. We have shown that by mapping the German PoS tag set to the Swedish tag set we were able to reuse the German chunker for the semi-automatic annotation of the Swedish sentences. Our experiments have also shown that the German annotation guidelines with minor adaptations are well-suited for Swedish.</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="1"> We have argued that tools for building mono-lingual treebanks can be used for parallel tree-banks as well, and that tools for sub-sentence alignment are available but they are not enough evaluated yet for aligning tree structures. Tools for viewing and searching through parallel tree-banks are missing.</Paragraph>
