Dear Douna,
Thanks for your interest in CDS-Invenio.
The software does not support the right to left languages yet.
There has been interest in developing such support from a few institutes
in the past (like IAEA), but this is not part of the package yet.
As you can read from the distribution site, at
<http://cdsware.cern.ch/invenio/i18n/>, many languages are supported (as
Invenio relies on Unicode) but the indexing of right to left sentences
would require some specific developments. CERN will not implement it but
we will support any kind of collaboration to help in this direction.
With best regards,
JY Le Meur

Good morning, and thanks for your answers
We're a team working for a research centre in Algeria and we are
interesting in your platform (CDS Invenio). It's one of the most
interesting platforms we've seen so far. Nevertheless there are some
information we want to get about it and that isn't mentionned in the
site. so my questions are as follows: Is your platform take into
consideration Arabic language (and its punctuation)?
how to index non-english documents (arabic)?
how to apply stemmers principal on non-english languages (arabic)?
we must say that arabic documents constitute most of our production
and we would be glad if such fonctionnalities exist.
Thanks in advance.
Regards
