<div style="font-weight: normal; border-collapse: separate;">
Here are comments on a few of the above changes.</div>
<div style="font-weight: normal; border-collapse: separate;"><br>
</div>
<div style="font-weight: bold; border-collapse: separate;">
Chinese Search</div>
<div style="border-collapse: separate;">Many thanks to Guan
who has done an excellent job selecting an appropriate
Lucene Analyzer (<a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://code.google.com/p/mmseg4j/" target="_blank">mmseg4j</a>),
integrated, and tested it. The Chinese analyzer used by
JSword was too resource hungry for mobile phones and so,
prior to Guan's work, had been disabled.</div>
<div style="border-collapse: separate;"><b><br>
</b></div>
<div style="border-collapse: separate;">
<b>Books & Xiphos</b></div>
<div style="border-collapse: separate;">These took a bit
longer than expected. Android has no tree control so I use
a long list for the contents. You can use the Speech
Control to speak any module type including General Books and
it normally works well. I have enjoyed listening to Hodge's
Systematic Theology recently. Xiphos repo contains some
good books and so some of the books you see in the download
list are from the Xiphos repo but integration with Xiphos is
not yet perfect so I manually included a few selected books
and also Gills Commentary.</div>
<div style="border-collapse: separate;"><br>
</div>
<div style="border-collapse: separate;">
<b>Change User Interface Language</b></div>
<div style="border-collapse: separate;"><b><span
style="border-collapse: collapse; font-weight: normal;"><span
style="border-collapse: separate;"><b><span
style="border-collapse: collapse; font-weight:
normal;">This was done partly to support languages
like Faroese and Welsh that do not have a locale
selectable on the mobile phone but I also thought
it might be useful for others.</span></b></span></span></b></div>
<div style="border-collapse: separate;"><b><span
style="border-collapse: collapse; font-weight: normal;"><span
style="border-collapse: separate;"><b><span
style="border-collapse: collapse; font-weight:
normal;"><br>

<div style="border-collapse: separate;"><b><span
style="border-collapse: collapse; font-weight: normal;">Go
to Options screen and you will find it near the bottom.
After changing locale and exiting Options the app will
restart with the new locale. The setting is persistent.
To revert to the default locale select Default from the
list of languages. </span></b></div>
<div style="border-collapse: separate;"><b><span
style="border-collapse: collapse; font-weight: normal;"><br>
</span></b></div>
<div style="border-collapse: separate;"><b><span
style="border-collapse: collapse;">Not Done</span></b></div>
<div style="border-collapse: separate;"><span
style="border-collapse: collapse;">There is a lot that has
not been done but the work continues. One area I need
advice on is font inclusion to improve support for Greek
and Hebrew and the more widely used foreign languages.</span></div>
