大家好,
我正在協助一個阿拉伯語專案,一位審查員想知道是否有人在使用單字搜尋功能時遇到過這個問題:
「當我處理阿拉伯語單字,例如尋找拼寫相同的單字清單時,結果幾乎沒有用處,且遺漏了幾乎 99% 的相關搜尋單字,因為它是嚴格比對(字母 + 變音符號)。在阿拉伯語中,根據單字在句子中的位置及其含義,每個單字可能有數十種變音符號的組合。因此,當我們搜尋單字時,最好不要考慮變音符號;我們應該只考慮基本字母,以找到所有幾乎相似的單字(例如 ا & إ & إٍ & إِ & أ & أُ & أَ & أً & أٌ 以及可能更多,這些在不同阿拉伯語方言中都可以互換使用,具有相同的含義,這些方言並不完全遵循現代標準阿拉伯語的語法規則)。」
他指出,在 Google 和 Word 的搜尋中,有這樣搜尋的可能性:「我們可以使用 Google 式的搜尋,這允許顯示接近而非嚴格相似的單字。2) 我們可以使用 MS Office 在文件內的搜尋功能,該功能會考慮不含變音符號的根字母。我認為這兩種方法都可以解決問題,並使不同的有價值的搜尋工具對該程式的阿拉伯語使用者有用。」
Paratext 中是否已經有這樣搜尋單字的方法,我可以告知他?
感謝任何回覆,謝謝!
Hello,
I’m assisting an Arabic project and a reviewer would like to know if anyone has experienced this issue when searching for words:
“When I work with Arabic words to e.g. find a list of words with same spelling, it does not yield any useful results and misses almost 99% of relevant search words, because it strictly matches (Letters + Diacritical marks). In Arabic, every single word can have tens of possibilities of diacritics depending on its position in the phrase and its meaning. So, it is better that when we search a word, we don’t consider diacritics; We should only consider basic letters to find all nearly similar words (e.g. ا & إ & إٍ & إِ & أ & أُ & أَ & أً & أُ & أٌ and maybe more, are all written interchangeably with the same meaning in different Arabic dialects which do not strictly follow Modern Standard Arabic grammar rules).”
He notes that on Google and Word searches, there is a possibility to search like this: “We can use google style for searching which allows showing close instead of strictly similar words. 2) we can use MS Office search, within documents, which considers the root letters without diacritics. I think both can solve the problem and make the different valuable search tools, useful for Arabic language users of the program.”
Is there a way to search for words in Paratext like this already that I can inform him on?
Appreciate any responses, thanks!
