[techtalk] Booleans in other (human) language?

[lanae at augur.lanae.com]

Hi, I have a quick question. When a Spanis-speaking person, for example, goes to use a search engine type function on the web, that is made in their language, is it customary for them to use AND OR NOT or those words in their own language (y, o, no in this case) When I looked at the Spanish Yahoo! it seemed to me that they use standard English Booleans.  If I made a site search that let them use y, o, no would they just use AND, OR, NOT anyway since theyre used to that?

Thanks!
Lori
