1. A method for multilingual data querying, comprising:
- sending, by a computer system, one or more words in an original language to a word ontology;
receiving, by the computer system, sense descriptions of the one or more words from the word ontology;
receiving a selection of one or more sense descriptions of the one or more words and a second language other than the original language for querying;
translating, by the computer system, the one or more sense descriptions of the selection into the second language for querying, wherein the translating of the one or more sense descriptions of the selection into the second language generates one or more sense descriptions in the second language;
translating, by the computer system, the one or more sense descriptions in the second language back into the original language, wherein the translating of the one or more sense descriptions in the second language back into the original language generates one or more reverse-translated sense descriptions for verification; and
executing, by the computer system and in response to receiving a verification of the one or more reverse-translated sense descriptions, a query using the one or more sense descriptions in the second language.

11. A method for multilingual data querying, comprising:
-
translating, by a computer system, one or more sense descriptions from an original language into a foreign language, wherein the translating of the one or more sense descriptions from an original language into a foreign language generates one or more sense descriptions in the foreign language; translating, by the computer system, the one or more sense descriptions in the foreign language back into the original language, wherein the translating of the one or more sense descriptions in the foreign language back into the original language generates one or more reverse-translated sense descriptions; and executing, by the computer system and in response to receiving a verification of the one or more reverse-translated sense descriptions, a query using the one or more sense descriptions in the second language. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14)

15. A system for multilingual data querying, comprising:
-
an interface operable to allow a user to select one or more words in an original language; a processor operable to access one or more document databases and execute one or more programs; a translator operable to translate one or more sense descriptions of the one or more words into one or more new sense descriptions in a second language, and further operable to translate the one or more new sense descriptions back into the original language, wherein the translating of the one or more sense descriptions in the second language back into the original language generates one or more reverse-translated sense descriptions; an electronic display operable to display the one or more sense descriptions, the one or more new sense descriptions in a second language, and the one or more reverse-translated sense descriptions; and a querying program operable to execute, in response to receiving a verification of the one or more reverse-translated sense descriptions, a query using the one or more sense descriptions in the second language. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
