    If you are happy with Slovene-English download or search at
    http://nl.ijs.si/elan/#corpus

    Tadeus has already mentioned the (double) TELRI CD-ROM, which has on
    one CD the 'Republic' by Plato in over 20 languages (most east
    europe), and on the other the MULTEXT-East corpus (6 ee languages, cca
    300 kW per language, cf http://nl.ijs.si/ME/). I think the CD-ROM is
    currently out of print, but check with http://www.telri.de/cdrom.html
    Also, have a look at the TELRI Tractor archive, http://www.tractor.de/

    Another possibility but a far cry from newspapers are the Linux
    Documentation Project localisation files. They are copyleft, and easy
    to get to. e.g. you can pick up the complete KDE desktop localisation
    from http://i18n.kde.org/translation_archive/

    Good luck,
    Tomaz
