The growth of multilingual web content and increasing internationalization portends the need for cross-language information retrieval. As a solution to this problem for narrow-domain, data-rich web content, we offer ML-HyKSS: MultiLingual Hybrid Keyword and Semantic Search. The primary component of ML-HyKSS is a collection of linguistically grounded conceptual-model instances called extraction ontologies. Extraction ontologies can recognize keywords and applicable semantics; when coupled with cross-language mappings at the conceptual level, they enable cross-language information retrieval and query processing. Our experimental results are promising, yielding good results for cross-language information retrieval with contrasting languages, application content, and cultures.
