Following is a sample from the Reuters Latin American Business Report.
This news service actually transmits articles in both English and
Spanish, although it does not provide any explicit or external
indication as to the language used in any given article.  As a result,
this collection had to be processed to eliminate English articles
automatically, based on text content.  The approach that was used was
quite simple:  for each article, determine whether the text contained
the Spanish words "al", "el", or "en", and/or the English words "is",
"are" or "the".  Articles that contained only the former and not the
latter were selected for inclusion in this corpus.  The consistency of
markup across articles is fairly good.

    MADRID, 4 nov (Reuter) - El dolar subia en Asia contra el
yen ante la caida de la Bolsa de Tokio. Las compras
interbancarias y especulativas tambien ayudaron a levantar a la
divisa estadounidense, que tenia mal de alturas en torno a los
108 yens. Los agentes creian que el yen podria volverse
vulnerable si las ventas especulativas crecian en el
extranjero.
<p>
    A las 0715 GMT, el dolar cotizaba en Asia a 1,6885/95
marcos y 107,83/93 yens tras cerrar en Nueva York a 1,6885/95 y
107,62/72 y en Europa a 1,6947/52 y 107,20/30. La libra se
cambiaba a 1,4850/60 dolares y 2,5077/87 marcos tras finalizar
a $1,4840/50 en NY y 2,5119/24 marcos en Londres.
