PanImages.org is a site that gives everyone ion the world the opportunity to search for flickr and google images in their native language. The homepage has a list of the many different language features, if your language is not featured you can add it to the list. Choose your language and write in the word for the image search. If your word is the same in other languages they will ask you which language you are searching in, make your choice and a list of images will appear in flickr and google images. The results are displayed in a split screen with Flickr on the left side and google images on the right. You can look through both or choose one to search through. PanImages.org features an image label game where you play with other users online. You will be given an image and you must write down all of the labels you can think of within specific amount of time. Your partner could be playing in another language. You want to match as many labels as possible with your partner. Visit PanImages.org to find images in any language you please.
“Search Google Images and Flickr in 100's of languages using automatic query translation.”
PanImages.org has an attractive, clean interface. The site is easy to navigate and to use. It is nice that if you choose to search for a word that is the same in multiple languages they ask you which language you are referring to. It is also nice that the results are displayed on a split screen of Flickr and google images and you can choose to search both or choose one or the other.
PanImages.org should think of adding some other features to the labeling game, it is a bit boring. PanImages.org could add more Web 2.0 features such as communities or groups that focus on language.
