Ask HN: Identifying topics across languages on Wikipedia?
7 points by haliax on June 20, 2010 | hide | past | favorite | 4 comments
Does anyone know of a simple way (e.g. some clever bit of metadata) to find wikipedia articles in other languages on the same topic as a given English wikipedia page?




the interesting bit is that the german version lists a lot more: http://de.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&prop=lang...


It looks like the big cluster refers to computing, as it contains the english "Hacker (Computing)" and the german "Hacker". The small one should be the disambiguation cluster: "Hacker" (which is a disambiguation page) and "Hacker (Begriffsklärung)", respectively.

Hacker has probably an unambiguous meaning in most languages.
