Abstract: Disclosed is a method and system for providing cross language advertising service over the Internet. In one preferred embodiment, while a user is performing a cross language search on the Internet, she receives the search results and concurrently receives one or more advertisements in her input language which are relevant to her input. In another preferred embodiment, while a user is requesting a real-time translation or annotation service on the Internet, she receives the requested translation or annotation and concurrently receives one or more advertisements in the annotation language which are relevant to her input.

Abstract: The invention provides a system and method for translingually searching a piece of information from an electronic document, a website or the Internet. The system first dialectally standardizes the primary query in the input language entered by the user and then translates the standardized query into an optimized search string in the target document language. Using the translated query, the system performs a search and highlights each matching object with an annotation callout or bubble to assist the user to navigate through the search results.

Abstract: A method for translating a query input by the user in the source language into the target language and searching and retrieving web documents in the target language and translating the web documents into the source language. In this invention, the user first inputs a query in a source language through a unit such as the keyboard. This query is then processed by the server at the backend to extract content word from the input query. The next step takes place at the dialectal controller, which is present on the server and performs the function of dialectally standardizing the content word/words so extracted. During this process the user may be prompted for some more so as to refine the search by the user or in case dialectal standardization could not be performed using the initial input query. This is followed by the process of pre-search translation, which comprises of translating the dialectally standardized word into a target language through a translator.
