'''Cross-language information retrieval (CLIR)''' is a subfield of [[information retrieval]] dealing with retrieving information written in a language different from the language of the user's query. For example, a user may pose their query in English but retrieve relevant documents written in French. To do so, most of CLIR systems use translation techniques.<ref>"[https://www.academia.edu/2475776/Versatile_question_answering_systems_seeing_in_synthesis Versatile question answering systems: seeing in synthesis]", Mittal et al., IJIIDS, 5(2), 119-142, 2011.</ref>. CLIR techniques can be classified into different categories based on different translation resources:

* Dictionary-based CLIR techniques

* Parallel corpora based CLIR techniques
