I am the one who wrote about the encoding utf-8 line missing from the file. You are right. You are absolutely correct about converting the file from latin1 to uft-8 as well.

 

We gave up on character mapping as a means of getting Spanish language diacritics to search properly and went with the icu.idx method. The string.chr file that the icu.idx file references was also encoded as latin1 instead of utf-8. The indexing worked, amazingly enough, even though I had more errors of different types than I have ever seen before on a simple reindex of Zebra. Converting the string.chr to utf-8 got rid of the errors.

Hi,

 

Recently somebody on this list wrote to add the line “encoding utf-8 “ to /etc/koha/zebradb/lang_defs/en/sort-string-utf.chr.

I just discovered that from that time on I have multiple errors in the log of rebuild_zebra like:

[fatal] Bad value-set specification

[warn] Failed to read character table sort-string-utf.chr

 

It appears that this file also had latin1 file encoding in my OS. Saving it with utf-8 file encoding seems to resolve the situation..

 

Regards,

 

Marcel
