Hello,
Our team have developed a Japanese version of Geonetwork and based on the
GPL would like to contribute it to the community.
We noticed that the metadata search functionality didn't work for Japanese
data. The reason for this being that the Lucene Analyzer shipped with
Geonetwork doesn't support Japanese. To rectify this we decided to add a
'sen' based Japanese Analyzer to geonetwork. (sen:
https://sen.dev.java.net/)
One thing is that this localized version is currently only suitable for
Japanese searching.
What would the best way be to send our code?
Best regards,

Hi Dara,
That's an interesting proposal. The big issue to be discussed now is how to (1) integrate this in a way both searching in Japanese and in other languages work, or (2) add this as a separate package that can be used to build a Japanese only version.
Do you have any ideas? My preference would be the first option, but it may be impossible and may not even needed. Could it be done in a way that allows a user to select the language of the metadata he wants to search?
Once a good approach is found, we could start with adding your code to a branch. Using an Ant build script it should be possible to build one of the two solutions quickly.
Ciao,
Jeroen
