Removing accents from strings before or while comparing them
There is libunac [1] which provides a function to remove accents from a string. There is an algorithm discussed here [2] which could be implemented with libunistring: Now, the best algorithm is hinted at the approved answer: Use NKD (decomposition) to decompose accented letters into the base letter and a seperate accent, and then remove all accents. [accent characters are in the non-spacing mark category "Mn"] [1] http://www.nongnu.org/unac/unac-man3.en.html [2] http://stackoverflow.com/questions/144761/how-to-remove-accents-and-tilde-in-a-c-stdstring -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to the bug report. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/16953 Title: Aptitude: should accept both "Si" and "Sí" (when asking for confirmation) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/server-papercuts/+bug/16953/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
