Abstract

In this paper we will present a system, called LiveTrans, which can generate translation suggestions for given user queries and provide an English-Chinese cross-language search service for the retrieval of both Web pages and images. The system effectively utilizes two kinds of Web resources: anchor texts and search results. The developed anchor-text-based and search-result-based methods are complementary in the precision and coverage rates and promising in extracting translations of unknown query terms that were not included in general-purpose translation dictionaries. Experimental results demonstrate the feasibility of the system.
