--- Comment #8 from David Cook <[email protected]> --- (In reply to Katrin Fischer from comment #7) > Hm, not sure about "key-value-relationships" - wouldn't it be just a word > list? You don't want to sort differently when switching templates, so I > think the actual langauge of a word is not needed. Mmm, good point. I'm trying to think of examples where an article in one language might be a non-article in another language... 'The' is an English article, but 'Thé' is a French noun that we wouldn't want to ignore. I suppose the regex might differentiate letters with diacritics... 'A' is the French preposition 'A'/'à' (often when capitalized, the article doesn't have a diacritic). Tricky. Here is a more comprehensive list of articles in multiple languages... http://library.princeton.edu/departments/tsd/katmandu/catcopy/article.html -- That said, an English install might have records in multiple languages and you would probably want to sort all of them without articles. I don't know if there is a way of offering a 100% consistent sort across languages though. Of course, using the articles of the selected language isn't very consistent either, so I'm tempted to say that the system preference is the best bet. I suppose the system preference could make it easier to deal with problems. If you just have English, you could just use English articles. If you just have French, you could just use French, etc. You might even be able to use a few articles from a few languages. I think French + English would have problems though (because of 'A' and maybe 'The'). German + English also looks like it would have problems. "Die" is a pretty common English noun. "Den" maybe less so, but still. Of course, this is all just from a list. I'd be interested to hear from more native speakers. -- Other problematic words I see: 'as' => Portuguese/Gallegan||Galician 'bat' => Basque 'am' => Gaelic 'den' => Danish/German/Norwegian/Swedish 'die' => Afrikaans/German/Yiddish 'et' => Danish/Norwegian (maybe...) 'he' => Hawaiian 'hen' => Greek 'hi' => Icelandic 'i' => Italian 'in' => Friesian 'it' => Friesian 'nina' => Tagalog 'os' => Portugeuse (both for English OS and the French noun Os) 'to' => Greek (Need a native speaker for this one. I thought 'to' was the Greek pronoun for the English 'it') 'ton' => Greek -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes. _______________________________________________ Koha-bugs mailing list [email protected] http://lists.koha-community.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/koha-bugs website : http://www.koha-community.org/ git : http://git.koha-community.org/ bugs : http://bugs.koha-community.org/
