Multilingual Search: Breaking Down Language Barriers

Global e-commerce demands search that works seamlessly across languages. Semantix delivers multilingual search capabilities that work in any language, handle typos gracefully, and serve international customers without barriers.

The Challenge of Multilingual Search

Traditional search systems struggle with:
Language variations**: Different dialects and regional differences
Character sets**: Various alphabets and writing systems
Translation requirements**: Need for manual translation of every query
Typo sensitivity**: Language-specific spelling errors break searches

How Semantix Solves This

Works in Any Language

Semantix understands queries in: - English: "red wine for dinner" - French: "vin rouge pour le dîner" - Spanish: "vino tinto para la cena" - German: "roter Wein zum Abendessen" - And many more—without manual configuration

Handles Typo-Heavy Inputs

Customers make typos, especially on mobile. Semantix handles: - "winne" → "wine" - "rouge vin" → "red wine" - "vino tinto" → "red wine" - Character variations and autocorrect mistakes

No Translation Required

Semantix understands intent across languages by mapping concepts, not exact words. A customer searching "vin élégant" (elegant wine in French) gets the same results as "elegant wine" in English.

Technical Advantages

Concept Mapping

Semantix maps concepts rather than exact words: - "Wine" = "vin" = "vino" = "Wein" - All map to the same product category

Context Preservation

Cultural context is preserved: - "Anniversary gift" has similar meaning across cultures - "Everyday wine" vs "special occasion" understood universally

Automatic Adaptation

Semantix adapts to regional preferences automatically: - French customers prefer different styles than American customers - Search results adapt based on location and language
