摘要: Cross-language information retrieval (CLIR) and multilingual (MLIR) techniques have been widely studied, but they are not often applied to evaluated for Web applications. In this paper, we present our research in developing evaluating a English-Chinese portal the business domain. A dictionary-based approach has adopted that combines phrasal translation, co-occurrence analysis, pre- post-translation query expansion. The was by domain experts results showed co-occurrence-based translation achieved 74.6% improvement precision when compared with simple word-by-word translation.
