METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR TRANSLINGUAL TRANSLATION OF QUERY AND SEARCH AND RETRIEVAL OF MULTILINGUAL INFORMATION ON THE WEB

摘要

A method for translating of query and retrieval of multilingual information on the web and conducting a translingual search on the Internet and access multilingual web sites. A query is input in a source language (118), and then is processed to extract keywords from the input query (120). The keywords are present on a server and perform the function of dialectal standardization (122, 124). During this process the user may be prompted for some more refining search (128). This is followed by the process of pre-search translation (126), which comprises of translating the dialectally standardized word into a target language through a translator. The translated words are input into a search engine in the target language (130, 132). The output from the search engine corresponds to the translated word (134). The output may then be translated back either in whole or in part into the source language (136-142).
