Hi Ere,

love to hear this! :) Do we have documentation about this?

Hi,

I might start to sound like a salesman, but the Elasticsearch indexing
code in Koha handles and indexes alternate script fields (880)
automatically in the correct search fields. :)

Regards,
Ere

Hi Charles,

if ICU with Zebra is set up correctly, you should be able to search for
the records using the original script (as cataloged) without any further
setup. If the original script is in 880 only the keyword search will
include them by default. But this is not related to ICU - the problem is
that indexing is not set up to include the 880 xxx in the corresponding
indexes.

If you want to search transliterated forms or need some other specific
things, adjustments to the chains might be needed.

Hope this helps,

Katrin

Hello, all!

      I am developing a catalog of multilingual, multiscript materials:
Arabic, Bengali, Burmese, Chinese, English, French, German, Japanese,
Korean, Mongolian, Russian, Vietnamese, to name but a few. Since both
Koha
and MarcEdit are UTF8, I can enter the cataloging records and edit
them in
their appropriate script.

      What I cannot do is to search them. I have seen on the Koha
Community
wiki is that ICU chains have to be configured. Here's the link:
https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/ICU_Chains_Library. I also found an
exchange about this:
https://lists.katipo.co.nz/public/koha/2012-January/031714.html.

      Is one to infer that the ICU chain has to be configured for each
writing system? Are there other multilingual libraries that have
implemented multilingual, multiscript searching in Koha and how did
they do
so?

      Many thanks for your help in this matter.
