Language directory "ja": Here are the Japanese language files "hse_lang.txt" and "hse_help.txt". Character encoding: shift_jis (unique MIBenum assigned by IANA: 17) Translated by "David" Chang Shih Chun (remove _SPAM_) Updated by Kimura Shinsuke . These language files will be used instead of the default ones (residing in the configuration directory given by the "conf=DIR" parameter) if the "lang=LANG" parameter is deliverd to HomepageSearchEngine.exe, where LANG stands for the name of this directory. So this language will be used by calling HomepageSearchEngine.exe either as form with the entry
...
or as direct link with the entry Search using Japanese language Additionally, the following international settings will be used - regardless of what is set in the "hse.ini" file: encoding = shift_jis date_format = Y.M.DD decimal_sep = . dir = ltr Additionally, delivering the "lang=ja" parameter on non-Mozilla-5 based browsers (such as Internet Explorer 6) and Safari automatically encodes the submitted terms in the so-called "encodeURIComponent" format *). This enables the JavaScript library "hse_customform.js" to decode Japanese terms from the query string properly, in order to preserve the terms submitted into a custom input form. That behaviour can also be enabled, regardless if a "lang" parameter has been delivered, by delivering "encterms". *) The characters will be converted into the format equivalent to the one JavaScript's function "encodeURIComponent()" would generate: Non-ASCII characters will be converted into the octets representing the characters in the 'utf-8' Encoding. These octets will be referenced by their hexadecimal byte values, each value prepended by "%". For example, the Japanese character with the Unicode value '691C' will be converted into the 3-byte stream '%E6%A4%9C'.
