Searching non-English languages

Discovery Attender is Unicode compliant and thus can search languages other than English. Remember that Discovery Attender is literal and will not translate terms. Therefore you will have to enter the search terms exactly as the characters may appear in the source documents, including accents, tildes and umlauts.

For example, if you are looking for the word morning in Spanish, you would have to enter mañana. Using anything else as search terms (i.e. manana or morning) would only find those exact terms and not the required term mañana.

If you are searching character or glyph based languages (e.g. Chinese, Japanese, Korean, etc.) put wildcards around the characters (e.g. *早上*).

When searching languages such which have non-Roman alphabets as Greek, Cyrillic, or Arabic, use the exact character matches (e.g. πρωί or صباح).
