Hi, Tom.

If you've locales.d\hu.conf with your application and locale selection mechanism work well for your language, you should get localized book names and verse text. Fairly on desktop I got unreadable text, but on device it is localized right (russian).
I have also never used gettext, only self-made loclization system, but now I want something more serious.

About prebuild inexed search, i know that sword uses clucence for it, so you may try download it and try to include.

Hi,

OK. Using the gettext idea is great. I've never used it in WinCE 
project, but it sounds good. (It was always anoying the the book names 
are english in every situation.)
Maybe I'll got some mails that it's already done in sword project and 
I'm the only one, who doesn't know anything about it ;o)
(Please be patient with me! ;o)

The first thing I would like to change is the search - reading the other 
letters it seems to me, that creating an utf8latin2 filter will 
perfectly fit for my language (also).
But I must admit that as I examined the ISO-8859-1 and ISO-8859-2 
codepages all significant characters are on tha same position in these 
codepages only the form of accents differs at some positions.
So perhaps a Latin1 filter setup may work for me. The only thing that a 
bit confusing for me that the utf8latin1 converter uses simple 
arithemtic conversion instead of some kind of lookup table so I can't 
verify the mapping it implements in head ;o) If somebody would be so 
kind and tell me step by step how can I setup this filter in my desktop 
sword for a quick verification I would be very glad.
By the way, this search method is a bit slow on my desktop pc also not 
mentioning my handheld device. Is there any way for use some kind of 
precompiled index or something?

The second thing that seems to be important is the word breaking when 
displaying multiline texts. As I see in your code there is a lot of TODO 
comment so I suppose you also want to change the way it works. If it is 
not in your recent list and you agree with it I look after it.

If there's anything you would like to be done by me, let me know.

Best regards,
     Tom

PS.: I don't know if it's correct that we speak about it publicly, I 
mean maybe we fill others mailboxes with unwanted mails.
