Chinese, Japanese, Korean Search and Display
In the early versions of DSpace, there were problem on searching and displaying Chinese characters. The authors managed to fix these problems by revising and rce codes, Whi some of these problems were replacing some of the DSpace eventually fixed in DSpace's later versions, the timing of fixing them was critical to he Library's IR software selection Had they not been fixed during software evaluation, the Library would not have selected DSpace.
Thanks to open source, one could dig into the source codes and fix problems quickly The main CJK problem was attributed to the use of the CJK-illegible string tokenizer DSpace is Unicode capable, meaning that it supports data and strings in multiple non-Roman scripts, the way scripts, including CJK. However, like many other Chinese strings are sorted, indexed and searched can be quite different from that for English, Global software developers should be aware of these differences in order to avoid problems similar to the ones encountered with DSpace.
