Thank you for your information.

Hope I can get DITA version ASAP.

Hello again,

A quick status update - The Core 6.3 release has been released with the improved WordInfilter. DITA and DocBook releases will be next.

Thanks,

Nigel

Hello,

Thanks for the feedback; we know about this issue. We are currently working on implementing the algorithm specified in Unicode Appendix 29:

http://unicode.org/reports/tr29/

This will replace or supplement our current word-splitting approach which is based on spaces and simple regular expressions, which as you point out isn't appropriate for some languages/locales.

Initial testing has given us good results (the results for western text are also improved using this algorithm). We are planning to make a new/additional WordInfiter available in our Core toolkit product's next release (6.3, due fairly soon). We then plan to add the capability for our DITA, DocBook format specific products. Unfortunately, it has not been possible to add it our soon to be released DITA 4.0 product, but it should be available in the next minor update release.

We have discussed possible work-arounds, but they are not easy to deploy with the DITA product. We may introduce a beta release and would welcome testing and feedback from Chinese and other non-western language users.

Thanks,

Nigel

Hi, I tested the DeltaXML for DITA. It is useful for English content. Because there is no space among Chinese word, when I compare the dita file with Chinese content, the tool deal with a sentence as a word, the result is not stasified for us. Do you have any suggestion?
