<div dir="ltr">Hi <div><br></div><div>Just wondering - do we want to allow Chinese to be searchable regardless of whether it is traditional or simplified.</div><div><br></div><div>There is a small library (<a href="https://code.google.com/p/java-zhconverter/">https://code.google.com/p/java-zhconverter/</a>) which does the conversion. My understanding is that traditional to simplified is unique, and simplified to traditional is not always unique (although the library I think only gives you one option).</div>
<div><br></div><div>My thought is that for chinese versions, we add the simplified/traditional options in the same field of the index so that we can prevent user errors (I've found myself raising a bug against Simplified Chinese not working, but it was because I had a traditional Chinese version selected.). We would never display these mappings, just use them to return results..</div>
<div><br></div><div>Just a thought.</div><div>Chris</div><div><br></div></div>
