Rapid Intelligence Bridges Wikipedia Language Gap Posted on Monday, February 20 @ 09:45:00 CST by xtv Web Hosting Domains CMS

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.
