Abstract
The invention provides a system and method for translingually searching a piece of information from an electronic document, a website or the Internet. The system first dialectally standardizes the primary query in the input language entered by the user and then translates the standardized query into an optimized search string in the target document language. Using the translated query, the system performs a search and highlights each matching object with an annotation callout or bubble to assist the user to navigate through the search results.
