I am trying to find non-English language data on 'Poster Presentation'.
1) Could anyone confirm that the simple translated terms below would be correct (as in a conference poster presentation)? These are in the 20 most popular languages, based on both the mass of speakers & the number of countries that use the language.
2) Do you know the major search engine for that language / country?
This may seem like an over simplified exercise, but for example, by entering 'стендовый доклад' on a Russian language search engine, I was able to retrieve @ 50 items of interest and achieved 154,000 hits. Ok - good old Google will give you @ 32 million hits for the same term in English, but often, foreign language data (especially that which uses a different script) is often ignored in literature searches. There are scholars out there & they have a valid contribution to make, but we often cannot access their work because they remain within their own cultural & linguistic sphere.
3) Finally, as well as provide information that helps my research, how else could I use the search method, use of simple technology and comparative results, to show the contribution that others make (but we often ignore) & how we can overcome some of the barriers to global scholarship?
It's laborious, involves lots of imprecise auto-translation, but you can get the main gist of what scholars around the globe are saying, by using a bit of simple technology ~ well, more than we can by just sticking to our own languages ;-)

Hello, for spanish information retrieval is better to use the word "poster" than "cartel". Anyway in different spanish speaking countries you can find the word cartel too. The translation of poster to cartel is correct, but is not the current expression in use.
Baie dankie ! Afrikaans is not one of the 'Big 20', but I will have a shot at it anyhow ;-)
German is correct. And I trust Ian's translation, too. Just to make sure...
Michael - does Germany have a preferred academic search engine, other than Scholar & the formal databases?
@Nicholas, unfortunately I can't answer your question from recent own experience, since I have been working here in Thailand for the last 10 years. I think, scholar will do for most German researchers; there are a significant number of them present on this platform.
I managed to find this one on the Wikipedia, though https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BASE_(search_engine)

Michael / Claudia, thank you very much for this information (every little helps) - Claudia, do you have any preferred search engine in South America other than Scholar & the formal databases?
Jaya - any (foreign) words of wisdom?
If I put ':))😊' into Google translate, it comes up as ' :))😊' - Jaya, you have hit upon the universal language ~ who needs English anyhow !
A smile needs no language and it has no grammatical mistakes ! Always smile, the world looks better that way 😊!
