Do you call me? :-)
Hmm... I don't know about Chinese. I think, it is hard to determine
word boundary in Chinese. So some word segmentation tools need for
processing Chinese (like kakasi, chasen in Japanese). I looked in the
output of "apt-get search chinese", but it seems there are no such
tool...
There is the another solution. It is "letter indexing
approach". However, that approach is more difficult to implement than
"word indexing approach". It sould be hard to implement it in Glimpse.
