When first reading the article titled The Seven Ages of Information Retrieval written by Micheal Lesk, it is shown that the development of information retrieval is discussed using the concept of duration of life produced by the most popular literature, Shakespeare. It was pointed out to the author that the main point used by Shakespeare from childhood to retirement must be adjusted to the expectations of the article that was read first, i.e. the article written by Vennevar Bush in 1945. Few expectations come from this article based on the development of information retrieval. Some of the expectations will be met in time, others may advance in terms of implementing the way of obtaining information compared to the expectations that Bush wants, and still others are still ongoing in the future. Additionally, part of the dot is supported by a mount to provide a clear image to the reader. The first part that relates to the retrieval of information with the person's lifespan is the part of the challenges or the part of the tension between the simple statistical method and the sophisticated information analysis. In this part the problem of translation is highlighted. This is a common problem in multilingual information systems (Bounsaythip, Lehtola and Tenni) where when using a query expressed in the second language, the most relevant documents in the translated subset are extracted (usually using a cosine proximity measure). These relevant documents are in turn used to extract nearby untranslated documents in the first language subspace. (Fluhr, 1996). The idea of ​​translating language is also highlighted in this article when the author wrote Warren Weaver's memo in 1949.
