This makes me wonder how to search for content in another language? I mean most sites are almost trivially translatable by now.

    You can easily autotranslate your question into whatever language you'd like to search, go to a search engine for that language, and see what you get.

    If I want to do a search for Chinese content, I go to baidu, enter a query that makes sense to me, and look for a suggested query that looks right.

    Doing this is much less useful than you might think. You'll still lack the ability to interpret the search results, or the pages you click through to. It's not an issue of translating the content. You have no idea what kind of pages you've turned up, what the ones you want should look like, or how information is laid out in the foreign websites. Your habits from the English-speaking internet won't apply.

    You just search in the language you're looking for?

    (And if you have a country filter/hint set on your search engine of choice, you disable or change it appropriately.)
