Image Search Knows No Country

0 views

Think about it. If you're a search buff, how often would you stumble across a site in a completely different language...? Latin to the rescue. Everyone (and no one) uses Latin. Image search works by leveraging user tagging or by inferring the content of images based on whatever words the publisher assigns to them (or nearby text or tags). It would probably improve if a multilingual component were added (seamless to the user).
