One of my more demanding clients is asking for a name matching solution on the cheap. What it needs to do is find where a name 'sounds like' another name, even if it is in another language (including Middle Eastern and Oriental names). In addition, I need to be able to eliminate false positives wherever possible, in order to come up with the most consise list of matches. I really don't know where to start. SQL Server and Oracle both offer soundex support, which I suppose could be used to generate some values for comparisons. But I am not sure how this would work when different languages come into play. Does anyone have / know of any books / resources / advice on how to do this?
