Were looking at building a Chinese site (Traditional and Simplified) in Sitecore and was wondering where the possibilities for supporting the search.
From what I have been able to gather so far:
Lucene doesn't support it out of the box but can be extended through development or third party to allow Chinese search
dtSearch should support it but from what I've been able to find it is unreliable/untested.
Does anyone have any experience using Chinese language in Sitecore and performing searches?
Has anyone had any experience implementing Chinese into Lucene?
Any help would be appreciated.
Cheers,
Phil
Cove Enterprise Search supports Chinese and integrates well with Sitecore. You should double check their full language support list if you have other needs.

Sitecore 7 ContentSearch features could help you out of the troubles; the search functionality supports many different languages including Chinese, Arabic, and non-UTF based characters.
I have tried to search Chinese (Traditional and Simplified) in sitecore 7 backend search tab. If you have played sitecore 7, you may notice that every content item has a new search tab. You can try to create a content item with 2 different language versions (zh-TW, zh-CN: Traditional, Simplified), then search some Chinese keyword in the search tab, it works fine.
For different language analyzers configuration, please find the Sitecore.ContentSearch.Lucene.DefaultIndexConfiguration.config in the App_Config/Include folder, there already defined many language analyzers for searching, you can also add the Chinese analyzer (Luncene.Net.Analysis.Cn.ChineseAnalyzer).
There is a "developer's_guide_to_item_buckets_and search_sc7" document on the sdn site(http://sdn.sitecore.net), it provides more details.
Hope these can help you.

I am using VS code + Latex for writing my research papers. I want my spell check to show suggestions in English-US, but the results I am getting are in English-UK. Is there any possible way to configure the language in VS code?
PS: I am using the LaTex Workshop (James Yu) extension in VS code.
There are several VS Code plugins which provide this task. I recommend a couple:
Code Spell Checker, which supports many programming and markup languages;
LTeX – LanguageTool grammar/spell checking, which supports only a few markup languages.
Both check documents in American English (en-US) by default.
I'm unable to set hindi as a locale in VSCode.
I know that it is added in the list of community driven languages as suggested in
https://github.com/Microsoft/Localization/wiki/Visual-Studio-Code-Community-Localization-Project
However, I can't understand how to include and use it in VSCode.
Kindly help with the steps required to add the same.
Btw, there is no hindi language pack available in the marketplace,is there some other way to get it?
As far as it stands there is no other way to get it other than marketplace unless the following is published as stated here on point no. 5:
After translation coverage reach 50% and below files are fully localized, we will publish language pack of this language in Marketplace. We encourage community members to publish language pack by yourself.
We are working on a product which is developed using progress 4gl but with Dutch naming conventions.
Source code has (naming convention, procedure description, on screen messages, table/fields/variable) all in Dutch language. Could anyone suggest if there is some way to map the table/fields to their corresponding English names?
We have tried to google but we didn't reach to a fixed solutions. All suggestions are highly appreciated.
For texts (labels, strings etc) Progress offers translation software.
Take a look at the documentation and if it seems good contact your Progress salesperson for a demo (the translation package is a separate license).
Linking to the 11.3 version of the documentation. If you need to look at another version search for it on community.progress.com
Visual Translator
Translation Manager
The source code is a different thing. Perhaps you can COMPILE with the XREF and LISTING options - perhaps that will create output that you somehow can run through a translator (after some parsing).
COMPILE file.p [SAVE]
XREF xref-file.txt [STRING-XREF string-xref.txt] LISTING listing-file.txt.
You can also replace XREF with XML-XREF and a XML-file will be created instead of a flat text file.
Check in on documentation (link above) on formats for these files.
I am working on a project where I create pages in the kannada language which will be edited by others. I am planning to use the XWiki platform. Does XWiki provide Kannada editing support?
If not, what other wiki platform can I use?
As far as I can see Kannada characters are part of UTF8 so there should be no issue with XWiki. I just copy pasted some text in a wiki to test it and here is what it looks like: http://tuska.myxwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Test/%E0%B2%95%E0%B2%A8%E0%B3%8D%E0%B2%A8%E0%B2%A1
There is no XWiki translation in Kannada language yet but you can propose one if you like, see http://l10n.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/L10N/AddALanguage for more details.
i use LiveCode 6.0 community edition, when i try to make a label in the GUI using an Arabic text it displays it, but from left to right not from right to left[RTL] .
is it possible to display a text in LiveCode using RTL?
Not yet unfortunately. Last time I looked into this I think you could set the text to some RTL text but you couldn't enter it RTL. Could be wrong as the project was put aside as soon as text entry was found to be LTR only.
Economy-x-Talk has a commercial custom software solution. It is fairly limited and I don't know if it is something for you but you could contact us at http://economy-x-talk.com.
LiveCode 7.0 will contain support for RTL languages. This is in development and a beta is expected in March 2014.
LiveCode 7.0.0 developer preview is now available for download:
http://downloads.livecode.com/livecode/
It is the first version to natively support LTR languages and unicode.
To achieve this, several new chunk expressions have been introduced. Most importantly, the
trueWord chunk expression can process text based the ICU library with its many rules taking into account many language and charset.
Please be careful, it is still a DP
