Abstract

In various example embodiments, a system and method for a Target Language Engine are presented. The Target Language Engine augments a synonym list in a base dictionary of a target language with one or more historical search queries previously submitted to search one or more listings in listing data. The Target Language Engine identifies a compound word and a plurality of words present in the listing data that have a common meaning in the target language. Each word from the plurality of words is present in the compound word. The Target Language Engine causes a database to create an associative link between the portion of text and a word selected from at least one of the synonym list or the plurality of words.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A computer system comprising:
 a processor;   a memory device holding an instruction set executable on the processor to cause the computer system to perform operations comprising:   augmenting a synonym list in a base dictionary of a target language with a historical search query previously submitted to search one or more listings in listing data;   identifying a compound word and a plurality of words present in the listing data that have a common meaning in the target language, each word from the plurality of words being present in the compound word; and   causing a database to create an associative link between the portion of text and a word selected from at least one of the synonym list or the plurality of words.
