But why do you need them to be different at all? Just make it russian Russian_Russia russian ru_RU Does that not work for some reason? What I was really suggesting was having a table mapping locale names into "tsearch languages". Then the configuration could be made based on the language, not on the locale name. So the stopword list is for "russian", regardless of whether the locale is Russian_Russia or ru_RU. Is this only for the stopword list, or does it also affect selecting a stemmer? Note: it's possible that the stopword list is different for brazilian portuguese than portuguese portuguese, which is why I was suggesting using a language "portuguese_brazil" and not just "postuguese". Whereas you need a single stopword list for all the countries speaking spanish, which is why you need only one language called spanish. -- Alvaro Herrera http://www.advogato.org/person/alvherre "Llegará una época en la que una investigación diligente y prolongada sacará a la luz cosas que hoy están ocultas" (Séneca, siglo I) ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 7: You can help support the PostgreSQL project by donating at http://www.postgresql.org/about/donate
