The reports note that the phrases like “world cup” increased by 200 percent in queries, “stadium” increased by 135 percent, and “beer” increased by 65 percent.
Most translations have been to and from Spanish, with these numbers doubling over the past few weeks. Translations between Arabic and Russian have increased by 40 percent.
