Support for international languages

ColdFusion supports Verity Locales in European and Asian languages. For European languages, ColdFusion uses LinguistX technology from Inxight; for Asian languages, ColdFusion uses ICU (IBM Classes for Unicode) technology. For more information about installing Verity Locales, see Installing and Using ColdFusion MX.

The default language for Verity collections is English. To index data in another supported language, select it from the drop-down list when you create a collection with the ColdFusion MX Administrator. In CFML, the cfcollection, cfindex, and cfsearch tags have an optional language attribute that you use to specify the language of the collection that you are searching. If you do not specify a language in these tags, ColdFusion checks the neo-verity.xml file for the collection's language. If this is defined, ColdFusion uses that language.

Use the following table to find the correct value for the language attribute for your collection; for example, the following code creates a collection for simplified Chinese:

<cfcollection action = "create" collection = "lei_01"
  path = "c:\cfusionmx\verity\collections"
  language = "simplified_chinese"> 

The following table lists the languages names and attributes that ColdFusion supports:

You can register collections in the Administrator or by creating a collection with the cfcollection tag. If you register a given collection with ColdFusion and you specify a language attribute, then you do not have to specify the language attribute when using cfindex and cfsearch for that collection. If you do not register a given collection with ColdFusion, the language defaults to English, unless you specify it in the language attribute for the cfindex and cfsearch tags for that collection.

Thank you for the feedback. I have forwarded your request to the Flash Product Manager.

Hi,

please excuse me for going back to the page context, from Flash back to Verity. ;-))

If you try to search a collection in another language than English, you can not use the original operators AND resp. OR. You have to translate those into the langauge of the collection as well.

Examples:

English: one AND two
German: eins UND zwei
French: un ET deux

IMHO the operators are part of the query language and should not be translated. Besides, having to implement the operators in a dozen languages is an unneccessary complication of things.

Is there any workaround for this???

TIA

C. Schmitz
