Thanks Mohamed for give more description about our same problem I wish we can find a solution for this problem for all the users of koha in the Arab world
while I'm searching i find something about the " أ إ آ" letters to considers them all as "ا " and I find something about the suffix " ة ه " the solution is to edit the words-icu.xml file and add these lines : for أ آ إ : <transliterate rule=" [\u0623 \u0625 \u0622] > \u0627 " /> and for the ة ه suffix add : <transliterate rule="ه > ة"/> and for the ي ى suffix add : <transliterate rule=" ى > ي "/> I didn't try this I wish you try and tell me but about ignoring the الـ letters in words i didn't find how to do this I wish someone can help us about this best regards On Thu, Oct 25, 2012 at 5:39 AM, mh_zalab...@hotmail.com < mh_zalab...@hotmail.com> wrote: > Hi karam > I think this issue is very important to all users who use Arabic language > We need to know what the important modifications in Zebra index And koha > files to index the arabic words without suffix and prifex > or searsh with root word using zebra > > I will give you example > We need to search for word (al-madrasah) this mean school > We have tow parts (al) mean (the)and (madrasah ) and the last caracter (h) > may have tow forms( ه ة ) we need when we search for madrasa get madrasah > and al-madrasah with all its forms > Sent from my HTC > > > > ----- Reply message ----- > From: "Karam Qubsi" <karamqu...@gmail.com> > To: "Koha" <Koha@lists.katipo.co.nz>, <koha-de...@lists.koha-community.org > > > Subject: [Koha] need help in zebra indexing for Arabic words > Date: Thu, Oct 25, 2012 11:12 am > > > Hi All > > I sent this email to the zebra mailing list > > I wish that koha will support suffix and prefix in the arabic search by > default in the future > > I wish if you have any Idea about the solution for this > > Best regards > Karam. > > ---------- Forwarded message ---------- > From: Karam Qubsi <karamqu...@gmail.com> > Date: Thu, Oct 25, 2012 at 4:20 AM > Subject: need help in transliterate rule > To: zebral...@lists.indexdata.dk > > > Hi all , > I'm new to zebra , and using it in "koha" ILS > > in the Arabic language there is some letter come before the words or after > them these letters we don't need to index in our index > I will give you an example : > in English we can say : the car... > in Arabic the same is : السيارة > if you note that the letter in Red is "the" and it's ignored in English > search but in Arabic search we need the zebra to find every record that > have " the word " or just "word" الكلمة or كلمة > > so how to define that to zebra > > thanks a lot > _______________________________________________ > Koha mailing list http://koha-community.org > Koha@lists.katipo.co.nz > http://lists.katipo.co.nz/mailman/listinfo/koha > -- *Karam Qubsi* Arabic Koha Support Team The founder of Wikibrary (The Arabic Libraries And Information Science Encyclopedia ) *Email: karamqu...@gmail.com* *Skype : karam.qubsi* *Mobile: +963 991 264 020* *Viber <http://viber.com/> / Tango <http://www.tango.me/> : +963 991 264 020 * *Wikibrary website : http://wikibrary.org* *Wiki and forum for Arabic Koha : http://koha.wikibrary.org<http://wikibrary.org/> * *كرم قبسي.* كوها العربي ـ فريق الدعم مؤسس ويكيمكتبات ( الموسوعة العربية للمكتبات والمعلومات ) _______________________________________________ Koha mailing list http://koha-community.org Koha@lists.katipo.co.nz http://lists.katipo.co.nz/mailman/listinfo/koha
