Describe the concept
Ask with entities and events rather than depending on a single machine-translated phrase.
Feature · Cross-language search
Cross-language Telegram search for selected sources
Ask in English across selected non-English Telegram sources, retrieve conceptually related posts, and inspect the original-language evidence.
Direct answer. The Ocean lets a researcher ask an English question over indexed sources written in another language and receive an English synthesis with citations to the original messages. Critical names, modality, dates, and idioms still require source-level review.
Research fit
Who this workflow is for
English-speaking researchers who monitor selected public sources in Russian or other working languages.
Retrieve across wording
Use semantic retrieval while retaining exact spellings, aliases, and date boundaries where known.
Review the original
Open every material citation and ask a fluent reviewer to inspect high-stakes wording.
Practical module
Cross-language review record
Preserve the path from English question to original evidence.
English questionThe neutral research question and the output language requested.
Language variantsOriginal spellings, aliases, transliterations, and domain-specific vocabulary.
Reviewer noteAny uncertainty involving negation, modality, sarcasm, names, or relative dates.
Cross-language search prompt
The template keeps original-language verification in the workflow instead of hiding translation uncertainty.
Answer in [output language] using [selected source languages] posts from [period] about [entity or event]. Include alternative spellings, cite original posts, preserve uncertainty and negation, and flag passages that require a fluent reviewer.
Inputs to set
- Languages
- Question language, source languages, and desired answer language.
- Variants
- Known original spellings, abbreviations, aliases, and transliterations.
- Review risk
- Terms, claims, or entities where translation precision is especially important.
Expected output
- English synthesis linked to original-language posts
- Key original wording and bounded translation
- Uncertainty and fluent-review queue
Review before use
- Preserve negation and modal verbs
- Resolve names and relative dates manually
- Do not infer that translation coverage is exhaustive

Boundaries
What this does not establish
- Machine-generated synthesis can lose nuance or strengthen tentative wording
- Language support does not replace a fluent reviewer for critical findings
- Only selected indexed sources are searched
