What is Keybot?

Searches your query on multilingual web pages and in your translation archives. Keybot displays the matching translation and its context.

The search engine offers more than 10,000 language combinations, so it covers many minority languages that are under pressure from majority languages and are not included by commercially oriented language platforms. In addition to European languages such as Romansh, Corsican and Breton, the index includes numerous African and 15 Indian languages.

Keybot is aimed primarily at professional translators who have a basic command of the language combinations they seek and are capable of evaluating the sample translations it finds. The order in which results are displayed can be influenced by using settings to define 'priority domains'. This feature enables users to configure the search engine so that selected web domains containing the terms they are looking for are displayed at the top of the list. Search results are displayed as snippets with the hits presented in both the source and target languages. In addition, all pages can be downloaded as plain text or in HTML format. The parallel display of pages in the source and target languages enables context-sensitive searches for specialist terms.

Keybot has a specially programmed web crawler linked to a four-stage language recognition module capable of identifying even short texts consisting of just a few words. To divide up the text and match results with their translation, the crawler relies mainly on the formatting characters in the HTML code. The language elements are fully indexed by a proprietary system and can be retrieved via the Keybot web pages or downloaded using Web-to-TM.
