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.

566_texthelpreadingdocs_ {
567<p>You can tell when you have arrived at an individual book or document
568because its title, or a photograph of the front cover, appears at the top
569left of the page. In some collections this is accompanied by a table of
570contents, while others contain just the number of the current page along
571with a box that allows you to select a new page and go forward and
572backward. In the table of contents, the current section heading is in bold
573face, and the table is expandable -- click on the folders to open or close
574them; click on the open book at the top to close it.</p>
575
576<p>Underneath is the text of the current section. When you have read
577through it, there are arrows at the bottom to take you on to the next
578section or back to the previous one.</p>
579
580<p>Below the title or front-cover photograph are some buttons. Click on
581<i>_document:textEXPANDTEXT_</i> to expand out the whole text of the current section, or
582book. If the document is large, this could take a long time and use a lot
583of memory! Click on <i>_document:textEXPANDCONTENTS_</i> to expand out the whole table of
584contents so that you can see the titles of all chapters and
585subsections. Click on <i>_document:textDETACH_</i> to make a new browser window for this
586document. (This is useful if you want to compare documents, or read two at
587once.) Finally, when you do a search the words you search for are
588highlighted. Click on <i>_document:textNOHIGHLIGHT_</i> to remove highlighting.</p>

607
608 <ol><li>Specify what items you want to search
609 <li>Say whether you want to search for all or just some of the words
610 <li>Type in the words you want to search for
611 <li>Click the <i>Begin Search</i> button

613
614<p>When you make a query, the titles of twenty matching documents will be shown.
615There is a button at the end to take you on to the next twenty documents. From
616there you will find buttons to take you on to the third twenty or back to the
617first twenty, and so on. Click the title of any document, or the little button
618beside it, to see it.
619
620<p>A maximum of 100 is imposed on the number of

625_texthelpquerytermstitle_ {Search terms}
626_texthelpqueryterms_ {
627<p>Whatever you type into the query box is interpreted as a list of words or phrases
628called "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 spaces. If any other characters such
629as punctuation appear, they serve to separate terms just as though they were
630spaces. And then they are ignored. You can't search for words that include
631punctuation.
632
633<p>For example, the query<p>
634 <ul><kbd>Agro-forestry in the Pacific Islands: Systems for Sustainability (1993)</kbd></ul>
635 <p>will be treated the same as<p>

641
642<ul>
643<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>.
644<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.

648_texthelplucenesearching_ {
649For collections built with Lucene a few other options are available.
650
651<ul>
652<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.
653<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>.
654</ul>
655Both 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.
656}
657
658_texthelpquerytypetitle_ {Query type}
659_texthelpquerytype_ {
660<p>There are two different kinds of query.
661
662<ul>
663 <li>Queries for <b>all</b> of the words. These look for documents (or
664 chapters, or titles) that contain all the words you have specified.
665 Documents that satisfy the query are displayed, in build order.
666<p>
667
668 <li>Queries for <b>some</b> of the words. Just list some terms that are
669 likely to appear in the documents you are looking for. Documents are
670 displayed in order of how closely they match the query. When determining
671 the degree of match,
672
673 <p><ul>
674 <li> the more search term occurrences a document contains, the closer it matches;
675 <li> terms which are rare in the collection as a whole are more important than common ones;
676 <li> short documents match better than long ones.
677 </ul>
678</ul>
679
680<p>Use as many search terms as you like--a whole sentence, or even a
681whole paragraph. If you specify only
682one term, documents will be ordered by its frequency of occurrence.<p>

689}
690
691_texthelpadvsearchmg_ {
692Advanced searching in MG collections gives you two options, ranked and boolean.
693A <b>ranked</b> search is exactly the same as the <b>some</b> search descibed in <a href="\#query-type">_texthelpquerytypetitle_</a>.
694<p>_texthelpbooleansearch_
695}
696
697_texthelpbooleansearch_ {
698A <b>boolean</b> search allows you to combine terms
699using &amp; (for "and"), | (for "or"), and ! (for "not"), using parentheses for grouping if desired. The default operator is | (for "or").
700<p>
701For example, <b>snail &amp; 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>.
702<b>snail !farming</b> will match documents that contain <b>snail</b> AND DO NOT contain <b>farming</b>.
703<p>
704More precise queries can be specified using combinations of operators and parentheses. For example, <b>(sheep | cattle) &amp; (farm | station)</b>, or <b>sheep | cattle | goat !pig</b>.
705}
706
707_texthelpadvsearchmgpp_ {
708Advanced searches in MGPP collections use boolean operators. _texthelpbooleansearch_
709<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. The latter is the order that documents were processed during the creation of the collection.
710<p>
711Further operators include <b>NEARx</b> and <b>WITHINx</b>.
712NEARx is used to specify the maximum distance (x words)
713which can separate two query terms for a document to match.
714WITHINx 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.

721}
722
723_texthelpformsearchtitle_ {Fielded searching}
724
725_texthelpformsearch_ {
726<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.
727}
728
729_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.}
730
731_textdatesearch_ {Searching with Dates}
732
733_texthelpdatesearch_ {
734Date search lets you find documents that, as well as matching your search
735terms, are about events within a certain timeframe. You can search for
736documents from a certain year or from a range of years. Note that you do not
737have to have any search terms -- you can search by date alone; and also that
738you do not have to use dates in your search, if you do not type any dates in it
739 is just the same as if the date search didn't exist.<p>

742_texthelpdatehowtotitle_ {How to use this feature:}
743_texthelpdatehowto_ {
744<ul>
745 <li>To search for documents about a single year:<p>
746 <ul>
747 <li>Type in any ordinary search terms as you normally would.
748 <li>Type the year you want into the "Start (or only) date" box.
749 <li>If your date is from before the common era (also known as before
750 Christ), choose the "B.C.E" option from the pulldown menu next to that
751 box.
752 <li>Begin your search as you ordinarily would.

765
766_texthelpdateresultstitle_ {The way results of your search work}
767_texthelpdateresults_ {
768Generally 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>

791a different encoding scheme to ensure correct character display.

799_texthelppresentationprefs_ {
800Depending on the particular collection, there may be several options you can

803<p>Collections of Web pages allow you to suppress the Greenstone navigation bar at
804the top of each document page, so that once you have done a search you land at
805the exact Web page that matches without any Greenstone header. To do another
806search you will have to use your browser's "back" button. These collections
807also allow you to suppress Greenstone's warning message when you click a link
808that takes you out of the digital library collection and on to the Web itself.
809And in some Web collections you can control whether the links on the "Search
