N2 - Uighur-Chinese parallel corpus is an important foundation of Uighur-Chinese cross-language information processing. As a corpus of minority language, its construction is relatively more difficult. In this paper, we discuss issues related to the construction. We firstly introduce the selection of corpus resources. Second, in order to accelerate the construction and improve the quality of the corpus, we develop an assistant construction system based on webpage content extraction and text duplication removal, etc. By using this system, we build a Uighur-Chinese parallel corpus with approximately 300,000 sentence pairs and a moderate size of dictionary of person name and place name. Finally, to evaluate the corpus, we build a demo Uighur-Chinese statistical translation system to explore the corpus. The result preliminarily verifies its effectiveness.
