Abstract

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer program products, for validating candidate translations for a phrase. A plurality of candidate translations for a phrase are received. A similarity score for each of the candidate translations is calculated. Each similarity score is an estimate of visual similarity between a group of visual media search results responsive to a visual media search query with text corresponding to the phrase and a group of visual media search results responsive to a visual media search query with text corresponding to a candidate translation. One or more of the candidate translations are selected based on the similarity scores. The selected candidate translations are associated with the phrase as valid translations for the phrase.
