Abstract
Systems and methods for handling multilingual queries are provided. One example method includes receiving, at a computing device, an input, wherein the input comprises a multi-lingual query comprising at least a first source language and a second source language. The multi-lingual query is translated, word for word, into a destination language to produce a monolingual query, with the word order of the multilingual query and the word order of the monolingual query being the same. The monolingual query is processed using natural language processing to map the mono-lingual query to a natural language query in the destination language.
Claims21
A method for handling a multilingual query comprising two or more languages, the method comprising:
- receiving, at a computing device, an input, wherein the input comprises a multilingual query comprising at least a first source language and a second source language;
- translating, word for word, the multilingual query into a destination language to produce a monolingual query, wherein the word order of the multilingual query and the word order of the monolingual query are the same;
- and
- processing the monolingual query using natural language processing to map the monolingual query to a natural language query in the destination language.
A system for handling a multilingual query comprising two or more languages, the system comprising:
- a communications port;
- and
- control circuitry communicatively coupled to the communications port and configured to:
- receive an input via the communications port, wherein the input comprises a multilingual query comprising at least a first source language and a second source language;
- translate, word for word, the multilingual query into a destination language to produce a monolingual query, wherein the word order of the multilingual query and the word order of the monolingual query are the same;
- and
- process the monolingual query using natural language processing to map the monolingual query to a natural language query in the destination language.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium having instructions encoded thereon that when executed by control circuitry cause the control circuitry to:
- receive an input, wherein the input comprises a multilingual query comprising at least a first source language and a second source language;
- translate, word for word, the multilingual query into a destination language to produce a monolingual query, wherein the word order of the multilingual query and the word order of the monolingual query are the same;
- and
- process the monolingual query using natural language processing to map the monolingual query to a natural language query in the destination language.
