- Description
Elasticsearch enhanced version supports 30+ languages including:
European: English, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch, Russian, Norwegian, Swedish, Finnish, Danish
Middle Eastern: Arabic, Turkish, Persian
Asian: Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Thai
Eastern European: Bulgarian, Czech, Hungarian, Romanian, Lithuanian, LatvianTiki search using Elasticsearch engine work with English stemmer.
See private function getIndexDefinition() at : lib/core/Search/Elastic/Index.phpDue to this, search results for Tiki Wiki website using other languages like German doesn't output expected results.
With an item title "Diplomatie"
"Diplomat" or "Diplomatie " (with an extra space) are found while "Diplomatie" is not found.Tiki should be able to use the correct stemmer based on the language content.
There should be an automatic language detection to select the relevant stemmer using the $prefs'language' (the current site language) with a manual override using a new pref in the Search control Panel : $prefs'unified_search_language' (if you want search language different from site language)Fallback: Defaults to English if nothing is set
For Multilingual Sites we may need to detect language per document.
