Re: [Dspace-general] Cyrillic characters in DSpace

Hi Satu!

If your DSpace and PostgreSQL is installed in UNICODE UTF-8 (which is usually the case), you should not have any problem entering, updating and displaying cyrillic, chinese, japonese, arabic, thaï, etc.

One problem remains: indexing/searching. Depending of your "cultural context" the way words are treated for search may vary. For instance, do you need translitteration from cyrillic to latin alphabet (For instance, in England and Northern Europe you have something like Czaikovsky and in France they have something like Tchaikowski: not even sorted to the same letter!). Depending on the importance of Cyrillic in your collections you may need more or less adaptation of the "tokenization" Java functions at this level.

Have a nice day!
