Bug ID: 47484
Summary: Breaking the linguistic silos in Wikipedia Search
Product: MediaWiki
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: Search
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Classification: Unclassified
Mobile Platform: ---
Wikipedia is currently organised into "linguistic silos" and does not allow
true multilingual searches. In a way, it stays behind its real potential, in a
world that is more and more connected, thus multilingual and multicultural.
Two possible improvements for the search engine page, among others:
(1) (Simple solution) give access to search engines in other languages in the
left hand column, allowing users to switch easily to another Wikipedia without
either using Google or going through the general homepage.
(2) (Less simple solution) translate automatically words or expressions in one
or several languages selected by the user in its search preferences, and
provide multilingual search results.
Thanks in advance for your attention.
