With the ongoing events in Iran and with Google supporting Persian, I have just added Persian support to XLHit. Example: Search for “iran election” from English to Farsi and back on FriendFeed.

Based on your feedback, Chinese is now supported for Twitter searches! Get the local scoop on dumplings from Chinese twitterers!

The new XLHit. Real-Time Search Now Speaks Your Language.

Starting today, XLHit.com, the world’s first translated real-time search engine, is now in public beta!

Search for real-time foreign language updates from Twitter and FriendFeed in your own language! Love fish tacos but don’t know Spanish? There’s a search for that. Concerned about the flu? Learning about great French recipes? Big fan of Jackie Chan? Yep, there’s a search for that too.

XLHit automatically translates your Twitter or FriendFeed searches (English, for example) into another language (say Spanish), and translates the results into your language.

XLHit works with many languages, and provides the original text just in case the translation turns out a little silly. Now, you don’t actually need to know every language to see what’s going on around the world.

We hope you’ll find XLHit a great new addition to your real-time search needs.

XLHit licenses patented translated search and language annotation technology invented by qNaturally Systems.

Welcome to XLHit!

Welcome to the all new XLHit, a real-time translated search engine!

XLHit lets you search Twitter and FriendFeed in any language, even if you don’t read or write it! Just type in your search query, choose your own language, choose the language you want to search, and search away!

For example, if you are a English speaker, you can search for realtime local news written only in Spanish and read the results automatically in English. And if you are a Chinese speaker, you can search English language news and have the results given to you in Chinese.

XLHit also shows you the original text of what was translated, just in case the machine translation came up with something silly and need a little clarification.

I’m Charles, the developer of XLHit, and welcome you to try out XLHit once it becomes publicly available. Thanks!
