Hi John (and all), Right now I got a small prototype with the languages listed below, mainly from portuguese countries. I am at the first step, checking how far can we go with the languages, and trying to discover if we got a frontier. At least for now, the only problem is listing utf8 languages with a different alphabet like chinese. The idea is having documents and interfaces on several languages, so if one knows only kaigang, this person would be able to access the system. The next step would be translate the dublin core information for each item so someone who speaks kaigang knows that there is something in kabuverdianu about the subject he is searching. I am using Greenstone 2.73 only because I wasn't able to explode some bibtex data on the last version (and I was already used with it...). But other versions and applications are welcome. We can exchange experience too. I am attaching a printscreen of title's list and the languages list. You can see that the chinese title is missing, but I am able to do a search in chinese.(Since it's just a first prototype, please forgive me for the simple interface). Languages list: Chechewa Forro Ganda Guinea Bissau Creole kabuverdianu Kaigang Kikongo Mandarin Oshiwambo Regards, nadia.
