Based on the confusion an idiom within the expression and an explanation of the idiom is identified. The idiom and corresponding explanation are extracted from the electronic communication. The language of the idiom is identified and the idiom is translated to a second language. The idiom, corresponding explanation, translation, and/or corresponding metadata are stored in a corpus that supports a search of the idiom.
