Re: [NTG-context] Index sorting for other languages than English (2)

I'd suggest you to use the extended variant of the \index macro. There you can specify an ASCII equivalent of the word, which will be used for sorting:\index[soz kesmek]{s\"oz kesmek}\index[seref]{\c seref}-RichardFrom: "R. Ermers" [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]To: mailing list for ConTeXt users [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]Sent: Tue, 30 May 2006 08:43:01 +0200Subject: [NTG-context] Index sorting for other languages than English (2)Hi all,

I have a document in Dutch (\mainlanguage[nl]) in which I quote Turkish 
items, which I want to collect in a separate index, like this:

"Enkele voorbeelden zijn: \quote{oudere zus} \turkish{abla}, 
\quote{jongere broer of zus} \turkish{karde\c{s}}, de \quote{zus van 
vader} (\quote{tante}) \turkish{hala, \quote{de zus van moeder} 
\turkish{teyze}. Voor aangetrouwde familieleden gelden soms juist vagere 
termen dan in het Nederlands, bijv. \quote{aangetrouwde tante} en 
\quote{schoonzuster}, \turkish{yenge}."

The index, however, is based on Dutch (mainlanguage). This causes two 
problems:

1. words with accents, like s\"oz, are not sorted correctly to any standard:
S
söz kesmek 76
saygı 14
s¸eref 3, 14, 24, 27

2. letters with diacritics, like \c{s} (under which \c{s}eref is to be 
placed) are not included in the alphabetical listing in the index, which 
of course follows the Dutch alphabet.

Does anyone have a solution?

Regards,

Robert

hm, so we need a mixed sorting mechanism

(in sort-lan.tex you can define a sort order for turkish but it still 
concerns the whole doc then)

actually, supporting multiple indexes with their own sort order is kind 
of prepared but never completed, so i'll have a look at it
