Imagine that you want to cook a Chinese meal from an authentic Chinese recipe. You search for the recipe in Google by the English name of the dish, and the search engine translates your query into Standard Mandarin, performs the search and finds some recipes in that language, and returns those pages to you with an option to translate them into English.
