<html><head></head><body>The SWORD parser matches alphabetically lowest partial entry as priority. So....<br>
<br>
If a locale had entries:<br>
JUDE<br>
JUDECATORII<br>
JUDGES<br>
<br>
Then <br>
J -> JUDE<br>
JU -> JUDE<br>
JUD -> JUDE<br>
JUDE -> JUDE<br>
JUDEC -> JUDECATORII<br>
<br>
If you want different behavior, then you'll want to add an alphabetically lower entry to override it. For example, if you provided:<br>
<br>
JUD=Judges<br>
<br>
Then this would result in fixing the first 3 entries.<br>
<br>
It sounds like in your case, you just need to override JUDE. I would guess probably a few more because there are many J books and we had to pick our priorities carefully. I think J goes to John, so you may need to override J as well. Best thing is to do as Greg suggests and add some tests to our testsuite verse parse test for the Romanian locale. We have a bunch for German in there and adding a few Romanian ones wouldn't hurt either.<br>
Hope this is helpful,<br>

<pre class="k9mail">Romanian for "Judges" is "Judecatori". Romanian for "Jude" is Iuda.<br /><br />So "Ju", "Jud", "Jude", probably even "J" should only ever be understood as "Judecatori".<br /><br />But alas, the parser, uses English abbreviations to override at certain and not entirely predictable places. <br /><br />So, Jude will be translated into Jude despite being a valid abbreviation for Judges in the Romanian locale<br /><br />If I now add "Jude=Judg" to the locale, I can fix that - but I get the same problem at "Jud". Why? Do I need to disable every single abbreviation which could be read as something in English? Our locale will probably need a massive overhaul if this is desired behaviour.<br /><br />I personally think once I changed my locale into a non-English one no other "default" locale should interfere - or at the very least it should function only as a fallback if there is no possible "first locale" interpretation. <br /><br />Or am I missing something?<br /><br />Frustratedly<br /><br />Peter<br /><br /><hr /><br />sword-devel mailing list: sword-devel@crosswire.org<br /><a href="http://www.crosswire.org/mailman/listinfo/sword-devel">http://www.crosswire.org/mailman/listinfo/sword-devel</a><br />Instructions to unsubscribe/change your settings at above page<br /></pre></blockquote></div><br>
