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.

614_texthelpreadingdocs_ {
615<p>You can tell when you have arrived at an individual book or document
616because its title, or an image of the front cover, appears at the top
617left of the page. In some collections, a table of contents appears, while in others
618(eg. when the paged image option is used)
619just the page number is shown, along with a box that allows you to select a
620new page and go forward and backward. In the table of contents, the current
621section heading is in bold face, and the table is expandable -- click on the folders
622to open or close them; click on the open book at the top to close it.</p>
623
624<p>Underneath is the text of the current section. When you have read
625through it, there are arrows at the bottom to take you on to the next
626section or back to the previous one.</p>
627
628<p>Below the title or front-cover image are some buttons. Click on
629<i>_document:textEXPANDTEXT_</i> to expand out the whole text of the current section, or
630book. If the document is large, this could take a long time and use a lot
631of memory! Click on <i>_document:textEXPANDCONTENTS_</i> to expand out the whole table of
632contents so that you can see the titles of all chapters and
633subsections. Click on <i>_document:textDETACH_</i> to make a new browser window for this
634document. (This is useful if you want to compare documents, or read two at
635once.) Finally, when you do a search the words you search for are
636highlighted. Click on <i>_document:textNOHIGHLIGHT_</i> to remove highlighting.</p>

653<p>
654 From the search page, you make a query in these simple steps:<p>
655
656 <ol><li>Specify what items you want to search
657 <li>Say whether you want to search for all or just some of the words
658 <li>Type in the words you want to search for
659 <li>Click the <i>Begin Search</i> button

661
662<p>When you make a query, the titles of twenty matching documents will be shown.
663There is a button at the end to take you on to the next twenty documents. From
664there you will find buttons to take you on to the third twenty or back to the
665first twenty, and so on. Click the title of any document, or the little button
666beside it, to see it.
667
668<p>A maximum of 50 is imposed on the number of
669 documents returned. You can change this number by clicking the
670 <i>_Global:linktextPREFERENCES_</i> button at the top of the page.<p>
671}
672
673_texthelpquerytermstitle_ {Search terms}
674_texthelpqueryterms_ {
675<p>Whatever you type into the query box is interpreted as a list of words or phrases
676called "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
677as punctuation appear, they serve to separate terms just as though they were
678spaces. And then they are ignored. You can't search for words that include
679punctuation.
680
681<p>For example, the query<p>
682 <ul><kbd>Agro-forestry in the Pacific Islands: Systems for Sustainability (1993)</kbd></ul>
683 <p>will be treated the same as<p>
684 <ul><kbd>Agro forestry in the Pacific Islands Systems for Sustainability 1993 </kbd></ul><p>

687_texthelpmgppsearching_ {
688For collections built with MGPP a few other options are available.
689
690<ul>
691<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>.
692<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.
693</ul>
694}
695
696_texthelplucenesearching_ {
697For collections built with Lucene a few other options are available.
698
699<ul>
700<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.
701<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>.
702</ul>
703Both 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.
704}
705
706_texthelpquerytypetitle_ {Query type}
707_texthelpquerytype_ {
708<p>There are two different kinds of query.
709
710<ul>
711 <li>Queries for <b>all</b> of the words. These look for documents (or
712 chapters, or titles) that contain all the words you have specified.
713 Documents that satisfy the query are displayed, in build order.
714<p>
715
716 <li>Queries for <b>some</b> of the words. Just list some terms that are
717 likely to appear in the documents you are looking for. Documents are
718 displayed in order of how closely they match the query. When determining
719 the degree of match,
720
721 <p><ul>
722 <li> the more search term occurrences a document contains, the closer it matches;
723 <li> terms which are rare in the collection as a whole are more important than common ones;
724 <li> short documents match better than long ones.
725 </ul>
726</ul>
727
728<p>Use as many search terms as you like--a whole sentence, or even a
729whole paragraph. If you specify only
730one term, documents will be ordered by its frequency of occurrence.<p>
731}
732
733_texthelpadvancedsearchtitle_ {Advanced searching using the _1_ search engine}
734
735_texthelpadvancedsearch_ {
736<p>If you have selected advanced query mode (in preferences) you have slightly different search options.
737}
738
739_texthelpadvsearchmg_ {
740Advanced searching in MG collections gives you two options, ranked and boolean.
741A <b>ranked</b> search is exactly the same as the <b>some</b> search descibed in <a href="\#query-type">_texthelpquerytypetitle_</a>.
742<p>_texthelpbooleansearch_
743}
744
745_texthelpbooleansearch_ {
746A <b>boolean</b> search allows you to combine terms
747using &amp; (for "and"), | (for "or"), and ! (for "not"), using parentheses for grouping if desired. The default operator is | (for "or").
748<p>
749For 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>.
750<b>snail !farming</b> will match documents that contain <b>snail</b> AND DO NOT contain <b>farming</b>.
751<p>
752More 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>.
753}
754
755_texthelpadvsearchmgpp_ {
756Advanced searches in MGPP collections use boolean operators. _texthelpbooleansearch_
757<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.
758<p>
759Further operators include <b>NEARx</b> and <b>WITHINx</b>.
760NEARx is used to specify the maximum distance (x words)
761which can separate two query terms for a document to match.
762WITHINx 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.
763}
764
765_texthelpadvancedsearchextra_{NOTE: These operators are all ignored if you are searching in simple query mode.}
766
767_texthelpadvsearchlucene_ {
768Advanced searches in Lucene collections use boolean operators. _texthelpbooleansearch_
769}
770
771_texthelpformsearchtitle_ {Fielded searching}
772
773_texthelpformsearch_ {
774<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.
775}
776
777_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.}
778
779_textdatesearch_ {Searching with Dates}
780
781_texthelpdatesearch_ {
782Date search lets you find documents that, as well as matching your search
783terms, are about events within a certain timeframe. You can search for
784documents from a certain year or from a range of years. Note that you do not
785have to have any search terms -- you can search by date alone; and also that
786you do not have to use dates in your search, if you do not type any dates in it
787 is just the same as if the date search didn't exist.<p>
788}
789
790_texthelpdatehowtotitle_ {How to use this feature:}
791_texthelpdatehowto_ {
792<ul>
793 <li>To search for documents about a single year:<p>
794 <ul>
795 <li>Type in any ordinary search terms as you normally would.
796 <li>Type the year you want into the "Start (or only) date" box.
797 <li>If your date is from before the common era (also known as before
798 Christ), choose the "B.C.E" option from the pulldown menu next to that
799 box.
800 <li>Begin your search as you ordinarily would.
801 </ul>
802<p><li>To search for documents about a time period or range of years:<p>
803 <ul>
804 <li>Type in any ordinary search terms as you normally would.
805 <li>Type the earlier date into the "Start (or only) date" box.
806 <li>Type the later date into the "End date" box.
807 <li>Select "B.C.E" option from the pulldown menu next to any date from before
808 the common era (also known as before Christ).
809 <li>Begin your search as you ordinarily would.
810 </ul>
811</ul><p>
812}
813
814_texthelpdateresultstitle_ {The way results of your search work}
815_texthelpdateresults_ {
816Generally 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>

837used by Greenstone for output to the browser -- the software chooses
838sensible defaults, but with some browsers it may be necessary to switch to
839a different encoding scheme to ensure correct character display.
840All collections allow you to
841switch from the standard graphical interface format to a textual one. This
842is particularly useful for visually impaired users who use large screen
843fonts or speech synthesizers for output.
844}
845
846_texthelppresentationprefstitle_ {Presentation preferences}
847_texthelppresentationprefs_ {
848Depending on the particular collection, there may be several options you can
849set that control the presentation.
850
851<p>Collections of Web pages allow you to suppress the Greenstone navigation bar at
852the top of each document page, so that once you have done a search you land at
853the exact Web page that matches without any Greenstone header. To do another
854search you will have to use your browser's "back" button. These collections
855also allow you to suppress Greenstone's warning message when you click a link
856that takes you out of the digital library collection and on to the Web itself.
857And in some Web collections you can control whether the links on the search
858results page take you straight to the actual URL in question, rather than to
859the digital library's copy of the page.
