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.

590_texthelpreadingdocs_ {
591<p>You can tell when you have arrived at an individual book or document
592because its title, or an image of the front cover, appears at the top
593left of the page. In some collections, a table of contents appears, while in others
594(eg. when the paged image option is used)
595just the page number is shown, along with a box that allows you to select a
596new page and go forward and backward. In the table of contents, the current
597section heading is in bold face, and the table is expandable -- click on the folders
598to open or close them; click on the open book at the top to close it.</p>
599
600<p>Underneath is the text of the current section. When you have read
601through it, there are arrows at the bottom to take you on to the next
602section or back to the previous one.</p>
603
604<p>Below the title or front-cover image are some buttons. Click on
605<i>_document:textEXPANDTEXT_</i> to expand out the whole text of the current section, or
606book. If the document is large, this could take a long time and use a lot
607of memory! Click on <i>_document:textEXPANDCONTENTS_</i> to expand out the whole table of
608contents so that you can see the titles of all chapters and
609subsections. Click on <i>_document:textDETACH_</i> to make a new browser window for this
610document. (This is useful if you want to compare documents, or read two at
611once.) Finally, when you do a search the words you search for are
612highlighted. Click on <i>_document:textNOHIGHLIGHT_</i> to remove highlighting.</p>

629<p>
630 From the search page, you make a query in these simple steps:<p>
631
632 <ol><li>Specify what items you want to search
633 <li>Say whether you want to search for all or just some of the words
634 <li>Type in the words you want to search for
635 <li>Click the <i>Begin Search</i> button
636 </ol>
637
638<p>When you make a query, the titles of twenty matching documents will be shown.
639There is a button at the end to take you on to the next twenty documents. From
640there you will find buttons to take you on to the third twenty or back to the
641first twenty, and so on. Click the title of any document, or the little button
642beside it, to see it.
643
644<p>A maximum of 50 is imposed on the number of
645 documents returned. You can change this number by clicking the
646 <i>_Global:linktextPREFERENCES_</i> button at the top of the page.<p>
647}
648
649_texthelpquerytermstitle_ {Search terms}
650_texthelpqueryterms_ {
651<p>Whatever you type into the query box is interpreted as a list of words or phrases
652called "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
653as punctuation appear, they serve to separate terms just as though they were
654spaces. And then they are ignored. You can't search for words that include
655punctuation.
656
657<p>For example, the query<p>
658 <ul><kbd>Agro-forestry in the Pacific Islands: Systems for Sustainability (1993)</kbd></ul>
659 <p>will be treated the same as<p>
660 <ul><kbd>Agro forestry in the Pacific Islands Systems for Sustainability 1993 </kbd></ul><p>

663_texthelpmgppsearching_ {
664For collections built with MGPP a few other options are available.
665
666<ul>
667<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>.
668<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.
669</ul>
670}
671
672_texthelplucenesearching_ {
673For collections built with Lucene a few other options are available.
674
675<ul>
676<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.
677<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>.
678</ul>
679Both 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.
680}
681
682_texthelpquerytypetitle_ {Query type}
683_texthelpquerytype_ {
684<p>There are two different kinds of query.
685
686<ul>
687 <li>Queries for <b>all</b> of the words. These look for documents (or
688 chapters, or titles) that contain all the words you have specified.
689 Documents that satisfy the query are displayed, in build order.
690<p>
691
692 <li>Queries for <b>some</b> of the words. Just list some terms that are
693 likely to appear in the documents you are looking for. Documents are
694 displayed in order of how closely they match the query. When determining
695 the degree of match,
696
697 <p><ul>
698 <li> the more search term occurrences a document contains, the closer it matches;
699 <li> terms which are rare in the collection as a whole are more important than common ones;
700 <li> short documents match better than long ones.
701 </ul>
702</ul>
703
704<p>Use as many search terms as you like--a whole sentence, or even a
705whole paragraph. If you specify only
706one term, documents will be ordered by its frequency of occurrence.<p>
707}
708
709_texthelpadvancedsearchtitle_ {Advanced searching using the _1_ search engine}
710
711_texthelpadvancedsearch_ {
712<p>If you have selected advanced query mode (in preferences) you have slightly different search options.
713}
714
715_texthelpadvsearchmg_ {
716Advanced searching in MG collections gives you two options, ranked and boolean.
717A <b>ranked</b> search is exactly the same as the <b>some</b> search descibed in <a href="\#query-type">_texthelpquerytypetitle_</a>.
718<p>_texthelpbooleansearch_
719}
720
721_texthelpbooleansearch_ {
722A <b>boolean</b> search allows you to combine terms
723using &amp; (for "and"), | (for "or"), and ! (for "not"), using parentheses for grouping if desired. The default operator is | (for "or").
724<p>
725For 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>.
726<b>snail !farming</b> will match documents that contain <b>snail</b> AND DO NOT contain <b>farming</b>.
727<p>
728More 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>.
729}
730
731_texthelpadvsearchmgpp_ {
732Advanced searches in MGPP collections use boolean operators. _texthelpbooleansearch_
733<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.
734<p>
735Further operators include <b>NEARx</b> and <b>WITHINx</b>.
736NEARx is used to specify the maximum distance (x words)
737which can separate two query terms for a document to match.
738WITHINx 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.
739}
740
741_texthelpadvancedsearchextra_{NOTE: These operators are all ignored if you are searching in simple query mode.}
742
743_texthelpadvsearchlucene_ {
744Advanced searches in Lucene collections use boolean operators. _texthelpbooleansearch_
745}
746
747_texthelpformsearchtitle_ {Fielded searching}
748
749_texthelpformsearch_ {
750<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.
751}
752
753_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.}
754
755_textdatesearch_ {Searching with Dates}
756
757_texthelpdatesearch_ {
758Date search lets you find documents that, as well as matching your search
759terms, are about events within a certain timeframe. You can search for
760documents from a certain year or from a range of years. Note that you do not
761have to have any search terms -- you can search by date alone; and also that
762you do not have to use dates in your search, if you do not type any dates in it
763 is just the same as if the date search didn't exist.<p>
764}
765
766_texthelpdatehowtotitle_ {How to use this feature:}
767_texthelpdatehowto_ {
768<ul>
769 <li>To search for documents about a single year:<p>
770 <ul>
771 <li>Type in any ordinary search terms as you normally would.
772 <li>Type the year you want into the "Start (or only) date" box.
773 <li>If your date is from before the common era (also known as before
774 Christ), choose the "B.C.E" option from the pulldown menu next to that
775 box.
776 <li>Begin your search as you ordinarily would.
777 </ul>
778<p><li>To search for documents about a time period or range of years:<p>
779 <ul>
780 <li>Type in any ordinary search terms as you normally would.
781 <li>Type the earlier date into the "Start (or only) date" box.
782 <li>Type the later date into the "End date" box.
783 <li>Select "B.C.E" option from the pulldown menu next to any date from before
784 the common era (also known as before Christ).
785 <li>Begin your search as you ordinarily would.
786 </ul>
787</ul><p>
788}
789
790_texthelpdateresultstitle_ {The way results of your search work}
791_texthelpdateresults_ {
792Generally 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>

806subcollections to include in your searches on the Preferences page.

809_texthelplanguageprefstitle_ {Language preferences}
810_texthelplanguageprefs_ {
811<p>Each collection has a default presentation language, but you can switch to
812a different language if you like. You can also alter the encoding scheme
813used by Greenstone for output to the browser -- the software chooses
814sensible defaults, but with some browsers it may be necessary to switch to
815a different encoding scheme to ensure correct character display.
816All collections allow you to
817switch from the standard graphical interface format to a textual one. This
818is particularly useful for visually impaired users who use large screen
819fonts or speech synthesizers for output.
820}
821
822_texthelppresentationprefstitle_ {Presentation preferences}
823_texthelppresentationprefs_ {
824Depending on the particular collection, there may be several options you can
825set that control the presentation.
826
827<p>Collections of Web pages allow you to suppress the Greenstone navigation bar at
828the top of each document page, so that once you have done a search you land at
829the exact Web page that matches without any Greenstone header. To do another
830search you will have to use your browser's "back" button. These collections
831also allow you to suppress Greenstone's warning message when you click a link
832that takes you out of the digital library collection and on to the Web itself.
833And in some Web collections you can control whether the links on the search
834results page take you straight to the actual URL in question, rather than to
835the digital library's copy of the page.

843<p>_selectsearchtypeprefs_
844<p>_selectwordmodificationprefs_
845<p>You can turn on the search history feature, which shows you your last few
