We describe WebCLEF, the multilingual web track, that was introduced at CLEF 2005. We provide details of the tasks, the topics, and the results of WebCLEF participants. The mixed monolingual task proved an interesting addition to the range of tasks in cross-language information retrieval. Although it may be too early to talk about a solved problem, effective web retrieval techniques seem to carry over to the mixed monolingual setting. The multilingual task, in contrast, is still very far from being a solved problem. Remarkably, using non-translated English queries proved more successful than using translations of the English queries.
