What is cross-language search?

A1. The question is being translated: Examples of companies that do a simple one-on-one translation: Eurospider, Convera, Google Cross-Language, Temis.

A2. Content is indexed across several languages ergo the question is being asked across several languages: InfoCodex.

Shortcomings of A1.:
**********************
a) The translation is never sharp. What meaning does “Automobile” have, what are the possible translations into German:
- Automobil
- Auto
- Kraftfahrzeug
- Motorfahrzeug
- Personenkraftwagen
- PKW
etc.

b) What meaning does “Insurance” have when translated into German:
- Versicherung
- Haftpflichtversicherung
- Assekuranz
etc.

c) What meaning does “IT” have when translated to German:
- IT
- Informatik
- EDV
- Elektronische Datenverarbeitung
etc.

The A1 solution will always only give you just one solution for a translation of a word even though there are always several translations of a common word. With a linguistical database you do not have this problem, i.e. your search result increases.

Advantages of A2:
*******************
a) A linguistical database with synonym groups will help you put a document or a search term into context (Verschlagwortung).

b) A linguistical database with a taxonomy will help you do more then just a one-on-one translation.

Some people are talking about how great this would be to search for content in other languages without knowing the language. If you look at it closely, you will see that you can only search Arabic if you know the Arabic search words to type in. You don't type a search in English and then see it translate the English search words into Arabic and then search Arabic sites. The cross-language search is only useful to those of us who are bi-lingual, and who may have some limitations in what we can read in our second language and want to have it machine translated back into our native language. This is a step in the right direction, but more work needs to be done to allow users to search the world's content from the luxury of their native language only.

Another reason why cross-language information retrieval would be great comes to mind without delay: it might be so that there is a lot of redundant information available in many languages, but this does not apply to all information. For instance, I live in Japan but my Japanese skills are very limited. It is quite difficult to find information about local things sometimes, as most of the small businesses (and many bigger ones, too) only have their web page implemented in Japanese, or if there is an English page it contains only a fraction of the information on the Japanese pages. So if I could get my hands on those pages through search engine, I'd be pretty delighted. That is, if they really could make the thing work properly. :-) I totally agree with Deniz.

This will not help you to find any single document in another language. What you need is a linguistical database where the terms and words have actually already been translated and connected to each other via a neural network. The user does not just want to search in one language at the time maybe in 5 or then language simultaneously. That is the trick and Google is very very very far away of doing so. Google has a link based strategy and they - obviously - only think of making money with their link based strategy. What is needed is a software that recognizes not the links but the _content_ of the document and then delivers a search result according to the content. Delivering search results based on descriptive links is nice and good but far away from any deep understanding of the content of a document or website. As the Internet grows, information grows. That results in higher importance of quality-of-information, not quantity-of-information.

Many people search the internet for pure information, which is second-best to full comprehension - and in many languages the amount of content available on the web is very little. Thus if you do not know English (let's say you are a regular teenager in a developing country) you will be able to query pages in English, German, Japanese, French, Spanish, Russian... and get back results in your language. I think this is amazing, even if the translation is not perfect. It will certainly help many people learn English and other languages, little by little. It is also good for gathering web intelligence - finally you will be able to know how many Persian bloggers are blogging about 'sex' without knowing a word of Persian, or how many French bloggers are blogging about 'the war in iraq'.
