Hi,

welcome to the community :)

If you are going to use Zebra, you will want to set it up to use ICU
from the beginning. It will enable you to search for non-latin characters.

You can find some notes about configuration here:

Another very multi-lingual library (BULAC) has also reported quite good
results using Elasticsearch for their collection at the last KohaCon:

Hope this helps,

Katrin

Hi, firstly, excuse me I really am new (and a newbie). I have successfully
installed Debian and Koha, and now, I'm looking for any advice and ideas.

This cataloging system is for a small departmental library, around 10,000
physical items, with a need for extensibility, resilience, and stability. So
all good.

However, this is the bilingual department of a city in the Nordic - we have
some 32 languages represented. So the interface must be in a Nordic
language, but search should allow UTF-8 characters from every major language
including Chinese, Arabic, Amharic, Thai, Vietnamese, Russian, etc; etc;

While this makes it a really interesting problem, it would be good to avoid
rookie mistakes.

Any helpful advice would be appreciated particularly if you have experience
of bilingual, trilingual, or multilingual set-ups.

Thanks :-)
