I'd suggest you to use the extended variant of the \index macro. There you can specify an ASCII equivalent of the word, which will be used for sorting: \index[soz kesmek]{s\"oz kesmek} \index[seref]{\c seref} -Richard _____ From: "R. Ermers" [mailto:r.ermers@hccnet.nl] To: mailing list for ConTeXt users [mailto:ntg-context@ntg.nl] Sent: Tue, 30 May 2006 08:43:01 +0200 Subject: [NTG-context] Index sorting for other languages than English (2) Hi all, I have a document in Dutch (\mainlanguage[nl]) in which I quote Turkish items, which I want to collect in a separate index, like this: "Enkele voorbeelden zijn: \quote{oudere zus} \turkish{abla}, \quote{jongere broer of zus} \turkish{karde\c{s}}, de \quote{zus van vader} (\quote{tante}) \turkish{hala, \quote{de zus van moeder} \turkish{teyze}. Voor aangetrouwde familieleden gelden soms juist vagere termen dan in het Nederlands, bijv. \quote{aangetrouwde tante} en \quote{schoonzuster}, \turkish{yenge}." The index, however, is based on Dutch (mainlanguage). This causes two problems: 1. words with accents, like s\"oz, are not sorted correctly to any standard: S söz kesmek 76 saygı 14 s¸eref 3, 14, 24, 27 2. letters with diacritics, like \c{s} (under which \c{s}eref is to be placed) are not included in the alphabetical listing in the index, which of course follows the Dutch alphabet. Does anyone have a solution? Regards, Robert _______________________________________________ ntg-context mailing list ntg-context@ntg.nl http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context
