We just finished with a big project for latin america that included among
other things internationalized versions of htdig (both english and spanish
at the same time). I've seen a lot of questions on the mailing list and FAQ
about how to do the build_select_lists, but few examples. Took a while, but
here's a drag and drop example of how to get your search form in spanish (or
any other language without using templates, but passing variables right to
the htsearch). This is on a slackware box running a slackware-current from
about a month ago. (side note: Great distro, I highly recommend it!)
build_select_lists: METHOD_LIST method method_names 2 1 2
FORMAT_LIST format template_map 3 2 1 template_name
""
SELECTED_SORT sort sort_names 2 1 2
method_names: "and" "Todas" \
"or" "Cualquiera" \
"boolean" "Boolean"
template_map: Largo builtin-long builtin-long Corto builtin-short
builtin-short
template_name: builtin-long
sort_names: "score" "Relevanc�a" \
"time" "Hora" \
"title" "T�tulo" \
"revscore" "Relevanc�a Ascendieno" \
"revtime" "Hora Ascendiendo" \
"revtitle" "T�tulo Ascendiendo"
locale: es_PR
lang_dir: ${common_dir}/spanish
bad_word_list: ${lang_dir}/bad_words
endings_affix_file: ${lang_dir}/spanish.aff
endings_dictionary: ${lang_dir}/spanish.0
endings_root2word_db: ${lang_dir}/root2word.db
endings_word2root_db: ${lang_dir}/word2root.db
nothing_found_file: ${lang_dir}/nomatch.html
search_results_header: ${lang_dir}/header.html
search_results_footer: ${lang_dir}/footer.html
This is my default install so it used htdig.conf.
----- passing config through submit form-------
To get english we passed the "config" form input field the value
"htdig_en.conf"
Works like a charm. One thing to note: the configuration manual says:
The following line would do it:
<input type=hidden name=config value="cc">
Which I took to mean, add it.
However, the line already exists and if you add it, it gives you a
configuration file not found error. So maybe the documentation should be
amended to say
Modify the following line replacing value with your custom configuration
file:
<input type=hidden name=config value="">
Anyway, we followed the FAQ for creating the spanish ispell dictionaries
which worked fine. If anyone would like a detailed explaination of this
process I'll post it.
