Abstract:

Examples of techniques for performing multilingual queries are described herein. A computer-implemented method includes monitoring, via a processor, a client for language settings during user-generated content creation and detect one or more language settings. The method includes analyzing user-created content to detect a language of a text. The method includes compiling a list of scored preferred languages for the client based on the detected language settings and the detected language of the text. The method includes intercepting a query from the client. The method includes analyzing a text of the intercepted query in a plurality of selected languages based on a language setting of a user interface application, a detected language of the query, and a predetermined number of preferred languages of the client to produce results of analysis for each selected language. The method includes generating a multilingual query based on results of analysis for the selected languages.
