The best way to do keyword research in different languages

[iain]

Could anyone give me a little advice about the best way to do keyword research in different languages? French and Spanish specifically (unsurprisingly).

Are there any tools or systems available that will give local language keyword variants on English keywords so that I can have a look at real world searches in local languages - rather than what I take to be the best translation (if that makes any sense).

Many thanks,

Iain

Is there any way of achieving something similar with SEOmoz?

Trellian global offers country specific keyword research information, but it's a paid service.

Hi Iain

If you have at least one core keyword you can translate easily (let's use tennis for this example, which is "tenis" in Spanish), then Ubersuggest might be of use to you.

Popping in "tenis" in ubersuggest and setting it search Google.es will give some keyword suggestions.  The best thing about ubersuggest is that these are the keywords that other people are actually searching for - they're real user queries.

With this, you can see what people are searching for when typing in "tenis" as part of their query - it lists the results alphabetically and numerically.

Hope this helps, would also like to hear of other ways from other people.
