Title: Problems with the Scandinavian alphabets
Post by: KAP on March 17, 2005, 03:04:08 am

MC 10 has some problems for handling the Scandinavian alphabets, it means the norwegian, sweedish danish and finnish.  Finnish and sweedish like each other, likevise the norwegian and the danish is the same alphabet.
Therefor I  can explain the problems  for norwegian and sweedish.
In norwegian we have folloving types in the end og the alphabet:
Xx - Yy - Zz - Ææ - Øø - Åå, and finally double a (Aa) is an old method to write Å.  Eks. a name: Aasen, in stead of Åsen.  (This is a norwegian phenomena).

In sweedish the alphabet is like this:
Xx - Yy - Zz - Ää - Öö - Åå

The thypes has the same lingual, but has a little different look.
Therefor this types need to be listed as follows:

Xx - Yy - Zz - Ææ - Ää - Øø - Öö - Aa (means double A)- Åå

The MC 10 problem for handling this, is that the scandinavian types is to be placed wrong for searching.

Xx - Yy - Zz - Åå - Ää - Öö
