INTERNET-BASED COLLOCATION ERROR CHECKING Russian patent published in 2012 - IPC G06F17/28 

FIELD: information technology.

SUBSTANCE: one or more collocations from a text sample are compared with the body. It is identified whether said collocations are non-standard in said body. An output device indicates whether said collocations are non-standard. One or more Internet searches are performed using one or more query terms which contain each of the one or more said collocations. One or more query terms are formed with a universal template which substitutes one of the words in one of the non-standard collocations. Search is performed for the collocation standard for said query terms. Search results are identified with relatively high ratio of substitution of a possible word of the universal template. Search results with the possible word are presented through the output device as the potentially correct collocations.

EFFECT: reduced errors when translating collocations.
