Comprehending foreign language search results in business environments

Due to globalisation, it is becoming increasingly common that documents in the enterprise data repository are multilingual. Today, many companies have relations with foreign partners and, as a result, many documents (emails, contracts, presentations) are written and produced in foreign languages.

When searching these documents, it is essential to be able to quickly determine whether the results obtained are relevant or not.

Difficulties with foreign language documents

As an example, let’s take an office administrator who has to search for a specific document related to a specific partner. Entering the name of the partner in the search engine used within the company, she gets a number of results, but all in a foreign language. Of course, she does not need to know the language, so each result should be opened and translated to the native language one by one to determine whether she is looking at the right document. This would be a really time-consuming task to be accomplished.
