RE: How to Track Down Plagiarism from a Website in Another Language
Pro tip: Combine the two mentioned above
- Use google image search to search for the image and add a portion of the text to that search!
Try adding the first or 2nd sentence in that search combo, if that doesn't work. Pick out a random sentence from the text and use that one instead. - When searching for images don't use "generic" ones, try a bit more "unique" or "complex".
P.S.
I don't believe that using google "for other countries" helps the search, since google will auto translate on it's own to find the original source.
The most effective way is to use the "complex" picture + 1st sentence in text search combo, google seems to really like this one and tend's to bring up the original source in seconds, if this search method is used.
Thanks for the info! The other versions of Google are just something I have tried to see if I can find what I'm looking for. Maybe that's a waste of time then....Hmm....
It is, but translating the text into a language you "suspect" it's originally written is a smart search as well...
