When first reading the article titled The Seven Ages of Information Seeking written by Micheal Lesk, it shows that the development of information retrieval information is discussed using the concept of lifespan produced by the most popular literature, Shakespeare. The author highlighted the major point used by Shakespeare from childhood to retirement to be adapted on the expectation of the article he has already read which is the article written by Vennevar Bush in 1945 . Few expectations come from this article based on the development of information search. Some expectations are realized over time, others may progress in implementing the means of obtaining information relative to Bush's desired expectations, and still others are underway in the future. In addition, part of the point is supported by grafting to give a clear picture to the reader. The first part that concerns the search for information about the lifespan of the person is the challenges part or the tension part between the simple statistical method and the sophisticated information. analysis. In this part, the translation problem is highlighted. This is a common problem in multilingual information systems (Bounsaythip, Lehtola & 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 ideas of language translation are also highlighted in this article when the author coded Warren Weaver's memo in 1949.
