Improving the Multilingual User Experience of Wikipedia Using Cross-Language Name Search - scientific work related to Wikipedia quality published in 2010, written by Raghavendra Udupa and Mitesh M. Khapra.

Overview

Although Wikipedia has emerged as a powerful collaborative Encyclopedia on the Web, it is only partially multilingual as most of the content is in English and a small number of other languages. In real-life scenarios, non-English users in general and ESL/EFL users in particular, have a need to search for relevant English Wikipedia articles as no relevant articles are available in their language. The multilingual experience of such users can be significantly improved if they could express their information need in their native language while searching for English Wikipedia articles. In this paper, authors propose a novel cross-language name search algorithm and employ it for searching English Wikipedia articles in a diverse set of languages including Hebrew, Hindi, Russian, Kannada, Bangla and Tamil. Authors empirical study shows that the multilingual experience of users is significantly improved by approach.
