  If you're interested we have a text analysis code that brings strings to
their dictionary entries (singular or infinitive form). It does so by first
going through a grammar analysis of the phrase to tell if a string is a verb
or noun or... (like "end" in English or "partie" in French, Spanish and
German version are in the works). We use it to index documents on what they
"talk about" purging text of redundant information necessary for human to
human comprehension (I love to read Shannon & Weaver ;-).

  For example the preceding paragraph could be resumed to only nouns due to
it's length and still keep its subject for future search: text analysis code
string dictionary form grammar phrase verb noun end English French Spanish
German version work document information human comprehension Shannon Weaver.
The only meaningful strings missing when you limit to only nouns are verbs
and adjectives which in the example would have been "singular, infinitive
and index" but you also leave out "be, have, love, read, like, go..." that
are rarely searched for, so it is the master's decision to know what he
wants to index.

  Another thing concerning French nouns, a lot don¹t have an "s" for a
plural form but a totally different string. And bringing everything back to
singular form assures that people looking for an "oeil" (eye) will also find
documents about "yeux" (eyes).

  Ok but if I need to change texts because my translations are incorrect or
if I add a new language, in a table I just add a column containing the texts
and the whole stack is translated with a new language or I just import a tab
separated new version and the errors are all corrected without having to go
thru every card and finding the field properties by hand. Am I right?

So a global variable is kind of global and the string naming it can be used
for something else. H, there may be good reasons for this, but when I
name something and declare it valid for a whole project I thought my job was
done ;-)
