Internationalizing a Web site - One non classic approach based on the query

[Ph Vouters]

Dear Linux and Windows users,

To determine the tongue spoken by a Web visitor, what's best than determining
his spoken language directly from his query to a search engine. This may help in
presenting him a Web document written in his mother dialect.

This is all the subject of the Web document at :

http://vouters.dyndns.org/tima/Linux-Windows-Perl-Aspell-Determining_the_country_of_a_Web_query.html

which contains a Perl and a bash codes. The included code has been finally tested using a CSV

formatted file containing more than 50,000 lines, each one representing a Web query to a

company's search engine from all over the world.

In the hope you will find interest with.

Warmest regards to the Linux and Windows communities.

Philippe

If interested in compared performances between Ruby/FFI/ffi-aspell and Perl/Text::Aspell refer to this document at:

http://vouters.dyndns.org/tima/Linux-Ruby-Aspell-Determining_the_country_of_a_Web_query.html

If looking for the Perl/Text::Aspell  performances using as per wc -w:

1/ a file of 185 words

2/ a file of 197111 words

refer to the URL in base post.

As it seems someone should fix the said bugs in Raspell and get rid from Ruby/FFI which appears to slow if looking after perforances. One fact : Perl does not yet know about libffi unlike Ruby/Python.
