Hi, welcome to the community :) If you are going to use Zebra, you will want to set it up to use ICU from the beginning. It will enable you to search for non-latin characters. You can find some notes about configuration here: https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/ICU_chains_configuration https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/ICU_Chains_Library Another very multi-lingual library (BULAC) has also reported quite good results using Elasticsearch for their collection at the last KohaCon: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iIB00vFZgeY Hope this helps, Katrin On 08.04.19 23:33, intelegant wrote:
Hi, firstly, excuse me I really am new (and a newbie). I have successfully installed Debian and Koha, and now, I'm looking for any advice and ideas.
This cataloging system is for a small departmental library, around 10,000 physical items, with a need for extensibility, resilience, and stability. So all good.
However, this is the bilingual department of a city in the Nordic - we have some 32 languages represented. So the interface must be in a Nordic language, but search should allow UTF-8 characters from every major language including Chinese, Arabic, Amharic, Thai, Vietnamese, Russian, etc; etc;
While this makes it a really interesting problem, it would be good to avoid rookie mistakes.
Any helpful advice would be appreciated particularly if you have experience of bilingual, trilingual, or multilingual set-ups.
Thanks :-)
