Hi there,
First off, I'd suggest that you take a look at the current
development code. From what you've said, it sounds like you're
looking at one of the 3.1.x versions or perhaps something earlier.
You may or may not find the 3.2 development code easier to
understand, but it will be easier to merge any changes you make into
future versions. See <http://www.htdig.org/files/snapshots/> for
recent snapshots.
Secondly, as far as Chinese support, the most important thing is to
support multi-byte characters in general. (There's still the issue of
working out "words" from a given language, but if you can't represent
the characters you have no hope of supporting the language!) There
was considerable discussion about what Unicode library to use for
this task last September. For example:
<http://www.htdig.org/htdig3-dev/1999/08/0014.html>
I think the ultimate consensus was that we need some fairly standard,
portable Unicode library before we can start converting the ht://Dig
code to that. This may not be flashy, but it would be extremely
helpful to just about any free software. The glibc code has a good
start, but the Unicode portions only work inside the main library,
not as a separate library.
Is this something you might be interested in helping with?
Thanks for your interest,
-Geoff
