8# This is the main macro file for translation when creating an
9# interface in another language.
10
11# Under the 'text macros' comments are text macros of the form:
12# _macroname_ {macro value}
13# Everything between the {} is the text to be translated. This text
14# may itself contain macros (i.e. characters other than space between
15# underscore characters, e.g. _about:numdocs_ or _textpage_). These
16# macro names occurring within text shouldn't be translated but should
17# be left as they are. Underscores or curly brackets occurring
18# naturally within the text should be escaped with a leading backslash
19# (i.e. '\_', '\{' or '\}).
20#
21# Comment lines (other than those described above) need not be
22# translated (i.e. any lines beginning with '#', like this line).
23#
24# The simplest way to translate this file is to save it as something
25# else (e.g. french.dm) and work through translating all the text
26# macro values and icon comments.

501contents, while others contain just the number of the current page along
502with a box that allows you to select a new page and go forward and
503backward. In the table of contents, the current section heading is in bold

514of memory! Click on <i>_document:textEXPANDCONTENTS_</i> to expand out the whole table of
515contents so that you can see the titles of all chapters and
516subsections. Click on <i>_document:textDETACH_</i> to make a new browser window for this
517document. (This is useful if you want to compare documents, or read two at

539 <ol><li>Specify what items you want to search
540 <li>Say whether you want to search for all or just some of the words
541 <li>Type in the words you want to search for
542 <li>Click the <i>Begin Search</i> button
543 </ol>
544
545<p>When you make a query, the titles of twenty matching documents will be shown.
546There is a button at the end to take you on to the next twenty documents. From
547there you will find buttons to take you on to the third twenty or back to the
548first twenty, and so on. Click the title of any document, or the little button
549beside it, to see it.
550
551<p>A maximum of 100 is imposed on the number of
552 documents returned. You can change this number by clicking the
553 <i>_Global:linktextPREFERENCES_</i> button at the top of the page.<p>

556_texthelpquerytermstitle_ {Search terms}
557_texthelpqueryterms_ {
558<p>Whatever you type into the query box is interpreted as a list of words or phrases
559called "search terms." A term is a single word containing only letters and digits, or a phrase consisting of a sequence of words enclosed in double quotes ("..."). Terms are separated by white space. If any other characters such
560as punctuation appear, they serve to separate terms just as though they were
561spaces. And then they are ignored. You can't search for words that include
562punctuation.
563
564<p>For example, the query<p>
565 <ul><kbd>Agro-forestry in the Pacific Islands: Systems for Sustainability (1993)</kbd></ul>
566 <p>will be treated the same as<p>
567 <ul><kbd>Agro forestry in the Pacific Islands Systems for Sustainability 1993 </kbd></ul><p>

571For collections built with MGPP a few other options are available.
572
573<ul>
574<li>A <b>*</b> at the end of a query term matches all words <b>starting with</b> that word, e.g. <b>comput*</b> matches all words starting with <b>comput</b>.
575<li><b>/x</b> can be used to give higher weight to one or more of the query terms, eg <b>computer/10 science</b> gives computer 10 times more weight than science when ranking documents.

579_texthelplucenesearching_ {
580For collections built with Lucene a few other options are available.
581
582<ul>
583<li><b>?</b> can be used as a wildcard in place of a single letter. For example, <b>b?t</b> will match <b>bet</b>, <b>bit</b> and <b>bat</b> etc.
584<li><b>*</b> can be used as a wildcard in place of multiple letters. For example, <b>comput*</b> matches all words starting with <b>comput</b>.
585</ul>
586Both of these wildcards can be used in the middle of a term, or at the end. They cannot be used at the start of a search term.
587}
588
589_texthelpquerytypetitle_ {Query type}
590_texthelpquerytype_ {
591<p>There are two different kinds of query.
592
593<ul>
594 <li>Queries for <b>all</b> of the words. These look for documents (or
595 chapters, or titles) that contain all the words you have specified.
596 Documents that satisfy the query are displayed, in build order.
597<p>
598
599 <li>Queries for <b>some</b> of the words. Just list some terms that are
600 likely to appear in the documents you are looking for. Documents are
601 displayed in order of how closely they match the query. When determining
602 the degree of match,
603
604 <p><ul>
605 <li> the more search term occurrences a document contains, the closer it matches;
606 <li> terms which are rare in the collection as a whole are more important than common ones;
607 <li> short documents match better than long ones.
608 </ul>
609</ul>
610
611<p>Use as many search terms as you like--a whole sentence, or even a
612whole paragraph. If you specify only
613one term, documents will be ordered by its frequency of occurrence.<p>

620}
621
622_texthelpadvsearchmg_ {
623Advanced searching in MG collections gives you two options, ranked and boolean.
624A <b>ranked</b> search is exactly the same as the <b>some</b> search descibed in <a href="\#query-type">_texthelpquerytypetitle_</a>.
625<p>_texthelpbooleansearch_
626}
627
628_texthelpbooleansearch_ {
629A <b>boolean</b> search allows you to combine terms
630using & (for "and"), | (for "or"), and ! (for "not"), using parentheses for grouping if desired. The default operator is | (for "or").
631<p>
632For example, <b>snail & farming</b> will match documents which contain both <b>snail</b> AND <b>farming</b>, whereas <b>snail | farming</b> will match documents that contain either <b>snail</b> OR <b>farming</b>.
633<b>snail !farming</b> will match documents that contain <b>snail</b> AND DO NOT contain <b>farming</b>.
634<p>
635More precise queries can be specified using combinations of operators and parentheses. For example, <b>(sheep | cattle) & (farm | station)</b>, or <b>sheep | cattle | goat !pig</b>.
636}
637
638_texthelpadvsearchmgpp_ {
639Advanced searches in MGPP collections use boolean operators. _texthelpbooleansearch_
640<p>The results can be displayed in <b>ranked</b> order, as described for the <b>some</b> search in <a href="\#query-type">_texthelpquerytypetitle_</a>, or in "natural" (or "build") order. This is the order that documents were processed during the creation of the collection.
641<p>
642Further operators include <b>NEARx</b> and <b>WITHINx</b>.
643NEARx is used to specify the maximum distance apart (x words) two query
644terms must be for a document to match.
645WITHINx specifies that the second term must occur within x words <i>after</i> the first term. This is similar to NEAR but the order is important. The default distance is 20.

654_texthelpformsearchtitle_ {Fielded searching}
655
656_texthelpformsearch_ {
657<p>Fielded searching provides the opportunity to combine searches across fields. For example, one can search for "Smith" in Title AND "snail farming" in Subject. In simple query mode, each line of the form behaves like a normal single line search. The individual lines of the form are combined using AND (for an "all" search) or OR (for a "some" search). Terms inside the field are also combined the same way. In advanced mode, you can specify different combinations of AND/OR/NOT between the fields using the drop-down lists, and inside a field you can use boolean operators.
658}
659
660_texthelpformstemming_ {The "fold" and "stem" boxes allow you to specify whether the terms inside that field are casefolded or stemmed. These are both switched off by default for advanced form searching.}

662_textdatesearch_ {Searching with Dates}
663
664_texthelpdatesearch_ {
665Date search lets you find documents that, as well as matching your search
666terms, are about events within a certain timeframe. You can search for
667documents from a certain year or from a range of years. Note that you do not
668have to have any search terms -- you can search by date alone; and also that
669you do not have to use dates in your search, if you do not type any dates in it
670 is just the same as if the date search didn't exist.<p>

673_texthelpdatehowtotitle_ {How to use this feature:}

675<ul>
676 <li>To search for documents about a single year:<p>

678 <li>Type in any ordinary search terms as you normally would.
679 <li>Type the year you want into the "Start (or only) date" box.
680 <li>If your date is from before the common era (also known as before
681 Christ), choose the "B.C.E" option from the pulldown menu next to that
682 box.
683 <li>Begin your search as you ordinarily would.

697_texthelpdateresultstitle_ {The way results of your search work}
698_texthelpdateresults_ {
699Generally speaking a search for documents about the year 1903 will not return documents that, say, reference books written in 1903, just documents about 1903. However, the way that the documents' dates are found, it will return documents that have a date range (for example 1899-1911) that includes 1903, and also those documents which, as part of their text name the century that 1903 is a part of (for example 20th century or twentieth century). This means that for some documents, the dates in your search will not actually appear in the document text. For a range search, all of this applies to every date in the range.<p>

722a different encoding scheme to ensure correct character display.
723All collections allow you to
724switch from the standard graphical interface format to a textual one. This

730_texthelppresentationprefs_ {
731Depending on the particular collection, there may be several options you can

734<p>Collections of Web pages allow you to suppress the Greenstone navigation bar at
735the top of each document page, so that once you have done a search you land at
736the exact Web page that matches without any Greenstone header. To do another
737search you will have to use your browser's "back" button. These collections
738also allow you to suppress Greenstone's warning message when you click a link
739that takes you out of the digital library collection and on to the Web itself.
