Designing Cross-Language Information Retrieval System using various Techniques of Query Expansion and Indexing for Improved Performance

---------------------------------------------------------------------***--------------------------------------------------------------------Abstract Classical Information Retrieval is finding out of the documents most relevant to a user’s query, from a large store of documents. A search engine performs IR by retrieving relevant web documents from the internet. Cross Language Information Retrieval permits the user to retrieve their documents in other language then the query. Some systems use resources such as bilingual dictionaries to translate the user’s original query and other systems use machine translation to translate the documents. Problems arise due to ambiguity in language. In this paper we will discuss previous work in CLIR. Four papers are considered for literature review and the proposed approach is discussed
