7#
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.

505<p>You can tell when you have arrived at an individual book or document
506because its title, or a photograph of the front cover, appears at the top
507left of the page. In some collections this is accompanied by a table of
508contents, while others contain just the number of the current page along
509with a box that allows you to select a new page and go forward and
510backward. In the table of contents, the current section heading is in bold
511face, and the table is expandable -- click on the folders to open or close
512them; click on the open book at the top to close it.</p>
513
514<p>Underneath is the text of the current section. When you have read
515through it, there are arrows at the bottom to take you on to the next
516section or back to the previous one.</p>
517
518<p>Below the title or front-cover photograph are some buttons. Click on
519<i>_document:textEXPANDTEXT_</i> to expand out the whole text of the current section, or
520book. If the document is large, this could take a long time and use a lot
521of memory! Click on <i>_document:textEXPANDCONTENTS_</i> to expand out the whole table of
522contents so that you can see the titles of all chapters and
523subsections. Click on <i>_document:textDETACH_</i> to make a new browser window for this
524document. (This is useful if you want to compare documents, or read two at
525once.) Finally, when you do a search the words you search for are

546 <ol><li>Specify what items you want to search
547 <li>Say whether you want to search for all or just some of the words
548 <li>Type in the words you want to search for
549 <li>Click the <i>Begin Search</i> button
550 </ol>
551
552<p>When you make a query, the titles of twenty matching documents will be shown.
553There is a button at the end to take you on to the next twenty documents. From
554there you will find buttons to take you on to the third twenty or back to the
555first twenty, and so on. Click the title of any document, or the little button
556beside it, to see it.
557
558<p>A maximum of 100 is imposed on the number of
559 documents returned. You can change this number by clicking the
560 <i>_Global:linktextPREFERENCES_</i> button at the top of the page.<p>

564_texthelpqueryterms_ {
565<p>Whatever you type into the query box is interpreted as a list of words
566called "search terms." Each term contains nothing but alphabetic characters
567and digits. Terms are separated by white space. If any other characters such
568as punctuation appear, they serve to separate terms just as though they were
569spaces. And then they are ignored. You can't search for words that include
570punctuation.
571
572<p>For example, the query<p>
573 <ul><kbd>Agro-forestry in the Pacific Islands: Systems for Sustainability (1993)</kbd></ul>
574 <p>will be treated the same as<p>

591<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.
592<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>.

598_texthelpquerytype_ {
599<p>There are two different kinds of query.
600
601<ul>
602 <li>Queries for <b>all</b> of the words. These look for documents (or
603 chapters, or titles) that contain all the words you have specified.
604 Documents that satisfy the query are displayed, in build order.
605<p>
606
607 <li>Queries for <b>some</b> of the words. Just list some terms that are
608 likely to appear in the documents you are looking for. Documents are
609 displayed in order of how closely they match the query. When determining
610
611 the degree of match,
612
613 <p><ul>
614 <li> the more search terms a document contains, the closer it matches;
615 <li> rare terms are more important than common ones;
616 <li> short documents match better than long ones.
617 </ul>
618</ul>
619
620<p>Use as many search terms as you like--a whole sentence, or even a
621whole paragraph. If you specify only
622one term, documents will be ordered by its frequency of occurrence.<p>

631_texthelpadvsearchmg_ {
632Advanced searching in MG collections gives you two options, ranked and boolean.
633A <b>ranked</b> search is exactly the same as the <b>some</b> search descibed in <a href="\#query-type">_texthelpquerytypetitle_</a>.
634<p>_texthelpbooleansearch_
635}
636
637_texthelpbooleansearch_ {
638A <b>boolean</b> search allows you to combine terms
639using & (for "and"), | (for "or"), and ! (for "not"), using parentheses for grouping if desired. The default operator is | (for "or").
640<p>
641For 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>.
642<b>snail !farming</b> will match documents that contain <b>snail</b> AND DO NOT contain <b>farming</b>.
643<p>
644More 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>.
645}
646
647_texthelpadvsearchmgpp_ {
648Advanced searches in MGPP collections use boolean operators. _texthelpbooleansearch_
649<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 "build" order. This is the order that documents were processed during the creation of the collection.
650<p>
651Further operators include <b>NEARx</b> and <b>WITHINx</b>.
652NEARx is used to specify the maximum distance apart (x words) two query
653terms must be for a document to match.
654WITHINx 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.

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

678 <li>If your date is from before the common era (also known as before
679 Christ), choose the "B.C.E" option from the pulldown menu next to that
680 box.

697Generally 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>

716Each collection has a default presentation language, but you can switch to

718used by Greenstone for output to the browser -- the software chooses
719sensible defaults, but with some browsers better visual results can be used
720by switching to a different encoding scheme. All collections allow you to
721switch from the standard graphical interface format to a textual one. This
722is particularly useful for visually impaired users who use large screen
723fonts or speech synthesizers for output.

726_texthelppresentationprefstitle_ {Presentation preferences}
727_texthelppresentationprefs_ {
728Depending on the particular collection, there may be several options you can
729set that control the presentation.
730
731<p>Collections of Web pages allow you to suppress the Greenstone navigation bar at
732the top of each document page, so that once you have done a search you land at
733the exact Web page that matches without any Greenstone header. To do another
734search you will have to use your browser's "back" button. These collections
735also allow you to suppress Greenstone's warning message when you click a link
736that takes you out of the digital library collection and on to the Web itself.
737And in some Web collections you can control whether the links on the "Search
738Results" page take you straight to the actual URL in question, rather than to
739the digital library's copy of the page.

744<p>You can switch to an "advanced" query mode which allows you to combine terms
745using & (for "and"), | (for "or"), and ! (for "not"), using parentheses for grouping if desired. This allows you to specify more precise
746queries.
747<p> It is possible to get a large query box, so that you can
748easily do paragraph-sized searching. It is surprisingly quick to search for
749large amounts of text.
750<p>Two pairs of buttons control the kind of text matching in the searches that
751you make. The first set (labeled "case differences") controls whether upper and
752lower case must match. The second ("word endings") controls whether to ignore
753word endings or not.
754
755<p>For example, if the buttons <i>ignore case differences</i> and
756<i>ignore word endings</i> are selected, the query<p>
757 <ul><kbd>African building</kbd></ul>
758 <p>will be treated the same as<p>
759 <ul><kbd>africa builds</kbd></ul><p>
760 because the uppercase letter in "African" will be transformed to
761 lowercase, and the suffixes "n" and "ing" will be removed from
762 "African" and "building" respectively (also, "s" would be removed from
763 "builds").
764
765<p>You can turn the search history feature, which shows you your last few
766queries. This makes it easy to repeat slightly modified versions of previous
767queries.
768<p>Finally, you can control the number of hits returned, and the
769number presented on each screenful.
