Linguos now supports cross-language search based on transcription. You canenter text in most of the supported languages and retrieve results in anyother supported language.

For example, you can input a term in the Cyrillic alphabet and retrieve theHindi equivalent. Or enter a Hindi term and retrieve the Katakana version.

Available at http://www.linguos.com

This service is still in early stages of its development. Some obviouslimitations include the need for vocalized Arabic and the ability to useChinese as the target language.

For those of you interested in commercial options, Linguos is available asa library/platform that can be integrated into your own corpora and indexesto enable your own multilingual search/input.

Thank you all for your continued support and feedback.
