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_textreadingdocs_ {How to read the documents}
591
592_texthelpreadingdocs_ {
593<p>You can tell when you have arrived at an individual book or document
594because its title, or an image of the front cover, appears at the top
595left of the page. In some collections, a table of contents appears, while in others
596(eg. when the paged image option is used)
597just the page number is shown, along with a box that allows you to select a
598new page and go forward and backward. In the table of contents, the current
599section heading is in bold face, and the table is expandable -- click on the folders
600to open or close them; click on the open book at the top to close it.</p>
601
602<p>Underneath is the text of the current section. When you have read
603through it, there are arrows at the bottom to take you on to the next
604section or back to the previous one.</p>
605
606<p>Below the title or front-cover image are some buttons. Click on
607<i>_document:textEXPANDTEXT_</i> to expand out the whole text of the current section, or
608book. If the document is large, this could take a long time and use a lot
609of memory! Click on <i>_document:textEXPANDCONTENTS_</i> to expand out the whole table of
610contents so that you can see the titles of all chapters and
611subsections. Click on <i>_document:textDETACH_</i> to make a new browser window for this
612document. (This is useful if you want to compare documents, or read two at
613once.) Finally, when you do a search the words you search for are
614highlighted. Click on <i>_document:textNOHIGHLIGHT_</i> to remove highlighting.</p>

628_texthelpsearchingtitle_ {How to search for particular words}
629
630_texthelpsearching_ {
631<p>
632 From the search page, you make a query in these simple steps:<p>
633
634 <ol><li>Specify what items you want to search
635 <li>Say whether you want to search for all or just some of the words
636 <li>Type in the words you want to search for
637 <li>Click the <i>Begin Search</i> button
638 </ol>
639
640<p>When you make a query, the titles of twenty matching documents will be shown.
641There is a button at the end to take you on to the next twenty documents. From
642there you will find buttons to take you on to the third twenty or back to the
643first twenty, and so on. Click the title of any document, or the little button
644beside it, to see it.
645
646<p>A maximum of 50 is imposed on the number of
647 documents returned. You can change this number by clicking the
648 <i>_Global:linktextPREFERENCES_</i> button at the top of the page.<p>
649}
650
651_texthelpquerytermstitle_ {Search terms}
652_texthelpqueryterms_ {
653<p>Whatever you type into the query box is interpreted as a list of words or phrases
654called "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
655as punctuation appear, they serve to separate terms just as though they were
656spaces. And then they are ignored. You can't search for words that include
657punctuation.
658
659<p>For example, the query<p>
660 <ul><kbd>Agro-forestry in the Pacific Islands: Systems for Sustainability (1993)</kbd></ul>
661 <p>will be treated the same as<p>
662 <ul><kbd>Agro forestry in the Pacific Islands Systems for Sustainability 1993 </kbd></ul><p>
663}
664
665_texthelpmgppsearching_ {
666For collections built with MGPP a few other options are available.
667
668<ul>
669<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>.
670<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.
671</ul>
672}
673
674_texthelplucenesearching_ {
675For collections built with Lucene a few other options are available.
676
677<ul>
678<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.
679<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>.
680</ul>
681Both 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.
682}
683
684_texthelpquerytypetitle_ {Query type}
685_texthelpquerytype_ {
686<p>There are two different kinds of query.
687
688<ul>
689 <li>Queries for <b>all</b> of the words. These look for documents (or
690 chapters, or titles) that contain all the words you have specified.
691 Documents that satisfy the query are displayed, in build order.
692<p>
693
694 <li>Queries for <b>some</b> of the words. Just list some terms that are
695 likely to appear in the documents you are looking for. Documents are
696 displayed in order of how closely they match the query. When determining
697 the degree of match,
698
699 <p><ul>
700 <li> the more search term occurrences a document contains, the closer it matches;
701 <li> terms which are rare in the collection as a whole are more important than common ones;
702 <li> short documents match better than long ones.
703 </ul>
704</ul>
705
706<p>Use as many search terms as you like--a whole sentence, or even a
707whole paragraph. If you specify only
708one term, documents will be ordered by its frequency of occurrence.<p>
709}
710
711_texthelpadvancedsearchtitle_ {Advanced searching using the _1_ search engine}
712
713_texthelpadvancedsearch_ {
714<p>If you have selected advanced query mode (in preferences) you have slightly different search options.
715}
716
717_texthelpadvsearchmg_ {
718Advanced searching in MG collections gives you two options, ranked and boolean.
719A <b>ranked</b> search is exactly the same as the <b>some</b> search descibed in <a href="\#query-type">_texthelpquerytypetitle_</a>.
720<p>_texthelpbooleansearch_
721}
722
723_texthelpbooleansearch_ {
724A <b>boolean</b> search allows you to combine terms
725using &amp; (for "and"), | (for "or"), and ! (for "not"), using parentheses for grouping if desired. The default operator is | (for "or").
726<p>
727For 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>.
728<b>snail !farming</b> will match documents that contain <b>snail</b> AND DO NOT contain <b>farming</b>.
729<p>
730More 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>.
731}
732
733_texthelpadvsearchmgpp_ {
734Advanced searches in MGPP collections use boolean operators. _texthelpbooleansearch_
735<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.
736<p>
737Further operators include <b>NEARx</b> and <b>WITHINx</b>.
738NEARx is used to specify the maximum distance (x words)
739which can separate two query terms for a document to match.
740WITHINx 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.
741}
742
743_texthelpadvancedsearchextra_{NOTE: These operators are all ignored if you are searching in simple query mode.}
744
745_texthelpadvsearchlucene_ {
746Advanced searches in Lucene collections use boolean operators. _texthelpbooleansearch_
747}
748
749_texthelpformsearchtitle_ {Fielded searching}
750
751_texthelpformsearch_ {
752<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.
753}
754
755_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.}
756
757_textdatesearch_ {Searching with Dates}
758
759_texthelpdatesearch_ {
760Date search lets you find documents that, as well as matching your search
761terms, are about events within a certain timeframe. You can search for
762documents from a certain year or from a range of years. Note that you do not
763have to have any search terms -- you can search by date alone; and also that
764you do not have to use dates in your search, if you do not type any dates in it
765 is just the same as if the date search didn't exist.<p>
766}
767
768_texthelpdatehowtotitle_ {How to use this feature:}
769_texthelpdatehowto_ {
770<ul>
771 <li>To search for documents about a single year:<p>
772 <ul>
773 <li>Type in any ordinary search terms as you normally would.
774 <li>Type the year you want into the "Start (or only) date" box.
775 <li>If your date is from before the common era (also known as before
776 Christ), choose the "B.C.E" option from the pulldown menu next to that
777 box.
778 <li>Begin your search as you ordinarily would.
779 </ul>
780<p><li>To search for documents about a time period or range of years:<p>
781 <ul>
782 <li>Type in any ordinary search terms as you normally would.
783 <li>Type the earlier date into the "Start (or only) date" box.
784 <li>Type the later date into the "End date" box.
785 <li>Select "B.C.E" option from the pulldown menu next to any date from before
786 the common era (also known as before Christ).
787 <li>Begin your search as you ordinarily would.
788 </ul>
789</ul><p>
790}
791
792_texthelpdateresultstitle_ {The way results of your search work}
793_texthelpdateresults_ {
794Generally 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>

798
799_texthelppreferences_ {
800<p>When you click the <i>_Global:linktextPREFERENCES_</i> button at the top of the page you will
801be able to change some features of the interface to suit your own requirements.
802}
803
804_texthelpcollectionprefstitle_ {Collection preferences}
805_texthelpcollectionprefs_ {
806<p>Some collections comprise several subcollections, which can be searched
807independently or together, as one unit. If so, you can select which
808subcollections to include in your searches on the Preferences page.
809}
810
811_texthelplanguageprefstitle_ {Language preferences}
812_texthelplanguageprefs_ {
813<p>Each collection has a default presentation language, but you can switch to
814a different language if you like. You can also alter the encoding scheme
815used by Greenstone for output to the browser -- the software chooses
816sensible defaults, but with some browsers it may be necessary to switch to
817a different encoding scheme to ensure correct character display.
818All collections allow you to
819switch from the standard graphical interface format to a textual one. This
820is particularly useful for visually impaired users who use large screen
821fonts or speech synthesizers for output.
822}
823
824_texthelppresentationprefstitle_ {Presentation preferences}
825_texthelppresentationprefs_ {
826Depending on the particular collection, there may be several options you can
827set that control the presentation.
828
829<p>Collections of Web pages allow you to suppress the Greenstone navigation bar at
830the top of each document page, so that once you have done a search you land at
831the exact Web page that matches without any Greenstone header. To do another
832search you will have to use your browser's "back" button. These collections
833also allow you to suppress Greenstone's warning message when you click a link
834that takes you out of the digital library collection and on to the Web itself.
835And in some Web collections you can control whether the links on the search
836results page take you straight to the actual URL in question, rather than to
837the digital library's copy of the page.
838}
839
840_texthelpsearchprefstitle_ {Search preferences}
841_texthelpsearchprefs_ {
842<p>You can switch to an "advanced" query mode which allows you to combine terms
843using &amp; (for "and"), | (for "or"), and ! (for "not"), using parentheses for
844grouping if desired. This allows you to specify more precise queries.
845<p>_selectsearchtypeprefs_
846<p>_selectwordmodificationprefs_
847<p>You can turn on the search history feature, which shows you your last few
848queries. This makes it easy to repeat slightly modified versions of previous
849queries.
850<p>Finally, you can control the number of hits returned, and the
851number presented on each screenful.

853
854_textcasefoldprefs_ {A pair of buttons controls whether upper and lower case must match when searching. For example, if "_preferences:textignorecase_" is selected, <i>snail farming</i> will be treated the same as <i>Snail Farming</i> and <i>SNAIL FARMING</i>.}
855_textstemprefs_{A pair of buttons controls whether to ignore word endings or not when searching. For example, if "_preferences:textstem_" is selected, <i>snail farming</i> will be treated the same as <i>snails farm</i> and <i>snail farmer</i>. This currently only works properly for English language text. _selectstemoptionsprefs_}
856_textaccentfoldprefs_ {A pair of buttons controls whether accented and unaccented letters must match when searching. For example, if "_preferences:textignoreaccents_" is selected, <i>fédération</i> will be treated the same as <i>fedération</i> and <i>federation</i>.}

863
864_textsearchtypeprefsboth_ {You can switch the search type of the collection between "normal" search, and "fielded" search.
865<ul>
866<li>Normal search provides a single query box. _textsearchtypeprefsplain_</li>
