Customizing Locale Settings - Full-Text Retrieval (FTR) - Help

To support search in regional languages, such as Chinese, Japanese, and Korean, you must customize locale settings as follows:

1. If your operating system is in English, you need to set the Regional and Language Options. If you are already using a localized operating system, skip this step.

   1. From Control Panel, open Regional and Language Options.

   2. On the Regional Options tab, select your regional language for Standards and formats.

   3. On the Advanced tab, select your regional language for Language for non-Unicode programs.

   For example, to support Japanese, you must select Japanese for the above settings.

   

2. Use an appropriate localized ftmf filter for documents that contain text in regional languages. For instructions, see Setting Filter for Object File Type.

   The following are some examples.

   Language	Filter
   Chinese	ftmf/c=u/i=GB2312_UCS2
   Japanese	ftmf/c=u/i=EUC_JP_UCS2
   Korean	ftmf/c=u/i=KSC_5601_1992_UCS2

3. Configure the locale settings, such as Locale List, Character Code, Default Locale, and Attribute Locale, for the FTR server by using the FTR Server Configuration command.

   You must set these locale settings to the locale of your regional language. You must use the same value for both Default Locale and Attribute Locale. The Character Code value must match the Default Locale and Attribute Locale settings.

   The following are some examples.

   	Chinese	Japanese	Korean
   Local List	cn_CN	jp_JP	Ko_ko
   Character Code	GB2312	Shift_JIS	KSC_5601_1992
   Default Locale	cn_CN	jp_JP	Ko_ko
   Attribute Locale	cn_CN	jp_JP	Ko_ko
