Developing ColdFusion Applications
Indexing and Searching Data

Support for International Languages

The ColdFusion International Language Search Pack is not shipped with ColdFusion, but is available on a separate CD-ROM free of charge. To order the Language Search Pack, contact Macromedia Customer Service or visit the online store at http://www.coldfusion.com/store. It can be installed to index data in any of the following languages:

• Danish
• Dutch
• Finnish
• French
• German
• Italian
• Norwegian
• Portuguese
• Spanish
• Swedish

The default language for Verity collections is English. To index data in one of the other supported languages, you must select the language from the drop-down list when you create a collection on the ColdFusion Administrator Verity page.

The cfindex and cfsearch tags have an optional language attribute that you use to specify the language of the collection you are searching. If you do not specify a language in these tags, ColdFusion checks the registry for the collection's language. If this is defined, ColdFusion uses the language. Otherwise, it assumes that the language is English.

By default the dictionaries are installed in \cfusion\verity\common in Windows and in /opt/coldfusion/verity/common in UNIX.

ColdFusion supports Verity Locales Using LinguistX to support localization. These predefined locales have been developed by Verity based on technology from Inxight LinguistX. These languages are supported: English, Danish, Finnish, French, German, Dutch, Italian, Norwegian (Bokmal and Nynorsk), Portuguese, Spanish, and Swedish.

ColdFusion also supports Verity Locales for Asian Languages to enable localization in languages not supported by Verity Locales Using LinguistX. The Verity Locales for Asian Languages are based on ICU (IBM® Classes for Unicode) technology from IBM. These languages are supported: Japanese, Korean, Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese, Russian.
