[ckan-dev] multilingual extension and searching datasets

Wed Sep 25 08:39:07 UTC 2013

Following the steps described at
https://github.com/okfn/ckan/issues/1021 after enabling multilingual
extension, replacing schema file and rebuilding indexes, the search is
working but under a strange condition.

I have noticed that the search doesn't work if I make a search using a
term translated, for instance:

1º) I created a translation for French mapping "computer" to "ordinateur"

2º) I created a dataset called "computer"

3º) I logged into my ckan site and selected French language

4º) If I type "computer" in the search field it finds a dataset called
"ordinateur" --> OK!!

5º) But if I type "ordinateur" in the search field it doesn't find
anything --> Normal???

I need to know if this behaviour is correct?? For me it doesn't make
much sense to ask French visitors to type the keywords in English to
find results in French.
