As some people asked me how I did it, I made a web page where I explain it and where they can download the files (dictionary, affix, bad_words, configuration parameters). I'm still looking for a synonyms file, but there is no hurry since Ht://Dig works well without it. I tell you that, so that you can eventually put a link towards it and/or store the add-on file on your server. The add-on file (htdig-fr.tar.gz) contains: - htdig.conf with parameters for french language - french dictionary and affix files compiled from the IREQ ispell dictionary - bad_words file made by me using empirical methods - an empty synonyms file which is better than a wrong one - the HTML templates translated in french - a page of instructions in french The page where I explain it is: http://www.quartier-rural.org/dl/elucu/htdig-vf/lisezmoi.html You can download the add-on file at: http://www.quartier-rural.org/dl/elucu/htdig-vf/htdig-fr.tar.gz Whenever I'll get a synonyms file for french langage, I'll add it to the file I tell you.

You can download the new file at: http://www.quartier-rural.org/dl/elucu/htdig-vf/htdig-fr-1.01.tar.gz Cheers, -- Didier Lebrun - Le bourg - 81140 - Vaour (France) E-mail: dl@quartier-rural.org (MIME, ISO Latin 1) Site web: http://www.quartier-rural.org/dl ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: Tue, 30 May 2000 20:44:29 +0200 To: Gilles Detillieux From: Didier Lebrun Subject: htdig-fr update Hello, As I have been getting feedback and answered questions from french users, I have brought a few mofifications to the "kit de francisation". The new version is available on my site: http://www.quartier-rural.org/dl/elucu/htdig-vf/htdig-fr-1.02.tar.gz This time, I have been careful at saving the files undex Unix format and keeping the permissions as they are in Ht://Dig distribution.

It builds a synonyms dictionnary from db.wordlist where the words with accents have their equivalent without accent. I have introduced a line in rundig so as to execute this script whenever it is present. This new version is available on my site: http://www.quartier-rural.org/dl/elucu/htdig-vf/htdig-fr-1.03.tar.gz Cheers, -- Didier Lebrun - Le bourg - 81140 - Vaour (France) E-mail: dl@quartier-rural.org (MIME, ISO Latin 1, sans HTML SVP) Site web: http://www.quartier-rural.org/dl --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: Sat, 22 Jul 2000 19:54:38 +0200 To: Gilles Detillieux From: Didier Lebrun Subject: Re: htdig-fr update Cc: s.marzloff@carif-idf.org (Stephane Marzloff) A 15:02 21/07/00 -0500, Gilles Detillieux a écrit : >>... > >OK, but this script is probably rendered obsolete by Robert Marchand's >patch for adding an "accents" fuzzy match algorithm to htsearch.

I'll try to apply the patch and see how it behaves, but I don't have much time to do that actually. So I'll leave the actual htdig-fr-1.03 as it is with Stephane's script until I find enough time to test Robert's patch and build another version including it. I've just added a comment in my lisezmoi.html with a link to "ftp://sol.ccsf.cc.ca.us/htdig-patches/3.1.5/accents.5" for those who want to try it as it is.
