1 Sort Current Meego content framework does not support Chinese Pinyin sort. But if your order is the same as ICU, it is easy to implement it in app. For handset applications based on libmeegotouch: MLocale supports two kind of Chinese sortings. zh...@collation=pinyin sorts Chinese according to the pinyin phonetics, zh...@collation=stroke sorts Chinese according to the stroke count of the characters. 2 Search (1) Big efforts are required to support search bases on Chinese "word". e.g. which text files have word "搜索"? For CJK languages, there is no ' ' to separate words in a sentence, some word segmentation libraries are required. (2) For some special cases like contact name, we may just take it as a string. Then we can search as string. (3) If you want to search Chinese with Pinyin, application should translate Chinese to Pinyin and save the maps. -Zhenqiang _______________________________________________ MeeGo-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.meego.com/listinfo/meego-dev
