Using AI to do research - Specifically online searching

[Mark Knowles]

I want to avoid language specific searching. Whilst the default references to ciphers from the time would likely be in Italian there are other languages that they could be in e.g.:

Latin, English, German, French and others


So, searching with all variants of appropriate vocabulary in each language to track down references is fairly laborious.
