At the moment, this may be the best solution. We have several people
working on internationalization, including an "ASCIIfy" system where you
could translate the accented words to ASCII. Contact Iosif Fettich
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> for more information.
Using synonyms is pretty easy. Edit the synonym file in the common
directory (the file currently in there is really a suggestion) and run
htfuzzy synonyms and you should be set. (My rundig script actually keeps
tabs on the synonym file and runs htfuzzy when necessary.)
