Chinese Transliterated Index Control
Two possible sort modes are available for Simplified Chinese:
• Radical/stroke element order (default)
• Pinyin romanization
|
|
Pinyin translation is not supported for Traditional Chinese.
|
Pinyin sorting is used primarily when the indexed document contains English (or other Western European languages), as well as Chinese.
|
|
You must use the Simplified Chinese font if you want to include the special accented Pinyin characters in a text string.
|
The Pinyin needed to collate index terms is automatically derived from Chinese ideographs (Hanzi). If a sort key is entered for a Chinese term, it should be Hanzi.
Use the following steps to set up Pinyin transliterated indexing.
1. There are four styles of Pinyin sorting. Choose whether you wish to sort Chinese and English characters under the same or different headings, and whether the Chinese characters should sort before or after the English characters. The options are:
◦ pinyin_SA sorts English and Chinese under the same headings, with Chinese entries given after English ones.
◦ pinyin_SB sorts English and Chinese under the same headings, with Chinese entries given before English ones.
◦ pinyin_DA sorts English and Chinese under different headings, with Chinese entries given after English ones.
◦ pinyin_DB sorts English and Chinese under different headings, with Chinese entries given before English ones.
set APTIXLANG=pinyin_DA
3. Use the Chinese_mode use parameter to specify the desired sort order.
