Encountering problem when creating a Chinese record
Dear all We have just installed a Koha 3.04 instance and wanted to test on whether it supports non-Latin scripts. We are using Marc21 as the encoding standards. We have uploaded some Chinese records in the system and display of Chinese characters are perfect. However, we have problem in the searching of Chinese characters. The result is not accurate. The result list even contains non-Chinese records and with no words coincide with the transliteration from the Chinese characters being searched. So I did an experiment of creating records with Chinese characters. I tried to create a new title with just 2 Chinese characters in the title field, when I saved the record, the following error msg came out: The following fatal error has occurred: Wide character in null operation at /usr/share/perl5/MARC/Charset/Table.pm line 96. Apache Server version: Apache/2.2.12 (Ubuntu) Server built: Mar 9 2010 22:11:44 Koha 3.00.04.019 Koha DB 3.0004019 MySQL mysql Ver 14.14 Distrib 5.1.37, for debian-linux-gnu (x86_64) using EditLine wrapper OS Linux 202-150-216-70 2.6.31-14-server #48-Ubuntu SMP Fri Oct 16 15:07:34 UTC 2009 x86_64 Perl 5.010000 What do you think the problem is? Thank you in advance. Regards Henry

Henry, 1) re the error have a look at this.. http://lists.katipo.co.nz/public/koha/2009-May/018392.html also pay close attention to the xml parser related section of install document of your os in the source tarball. 2) regarding searching are you using zebra? a) have you followed everything about encodings in http://wiki.koha.org/doku.php?id=encodingscratchpad b) try to turn off queryfuzzy in system preferences c) try to use ICU and reindex zebra Regards, Koustubha Kale Anant Corporation Contact Details : Address : 103, Armaan Residency, R.
