Rapid Intelligence, a search technology company with a focus on data
mining and computational linguistics, has today released a beta of
Qwika.com, a wiki search engine.
San Francisco, CA, USA, February 19, 2006 -- The technology is designed
from the ground up to work with wiki-based content and has a number of
unique features of interest to researchers and Wikipedia editors. It is
the only search engine to index machine translated content, so that
users may search for terms in their own language and see results
translated from English.
"Wikipedia's growth in English is well documented, but other languages
lag far behind. The next biggest is German, roughly a third of the size
of the English one. Spanish is a mere tenth of the size" says Luke
Metcalfe, founder of the site. "There is thus a massive gap in the market."

Im Moment ist das offenbar mehr ein Spielzeug, solange es nach
japanischen Waschmaschinenanleitungen klingt. Ansonsten aber seeehr
interessant.
