Patent ID: 8271869

Claim:
A method of identifying language translations for source documents, comprising: finding source documents containing links to target documents and a link anchor for the links having language indicating text; generating a first tuple set for paired source documents and target documents with tuples having an expected target language of a target document; annotating the first tuple set with primary languages for the source documents and target documents to form a second tuple set containing tuples where primary languages of the source documents and target documents are different; generating a third tuple set using the second tuple set by including a count of a number of times unique link addresses for source documents and target documents occur in the first tuple set; removing tuples from the third tuple set containing pairs of source documents and target documents where a count ratio between a source document count and a target document count is less than a reference ratio; and extracting document pairs from the third tuple set to provide a list of target documents that are translations of the source documents.
