I can't answer any of Chris' questions but can comment on the initial Japanese issue.<div><br></div><div>JSword uses SmartCN Lucene Analyzer for Japanese and Chinese which works fine on pcs, so you could say that JSword doesn't need to change anything at all as it already supports search for Chinese and Japanese. However, SmartCN requires too many resources to run it on a mobile phone and will either crash or take about ages to do anything.</div>
<div><br></div><div>And Bible replaced SmartCN with mmseg4j for Chinese searches but I don't think (I can't read the Chinese documentation) mmseg4j supports Japanese, so I disabled search when displaying Japanese modules. AB does not have a lot of Japanese users and this is not a frequently requested function but it would be good to extend AB support to allow Search in Japanese modules.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Ideally, as far as AB is concerned, it would be good if JSword discontinued use of SmartCN, but that might not be possible.</div><div><br></div><div>Martin<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On 12 February 2013 15:15, Chris Burrell <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:chris@burrell.me.uk" target="_blank">chris@burrell.me.uk</a>></span> wrote:<br>
