Languages
The IntraSeek output in search forms and summaries can be translated
into several languages. It should be noted that IntraSeek does not
translate the search result summaries but only the static IntraSeek
output information like buttons, summary status, etc. See the
IntraSeek tags pages how to use the language support.
The languages in the table below are supported by default in
IntraSeek.

It is important for the IntraSeek crawler to know which character
set a document is using for the purpose of being able to supply the
users browser with a proper query response. One problem is the
lowercase representation of words. If for example the user is
searching for FOO or FoO he should still get the same
results, so to make a correct lowercase representation of
international characters the crawler has to know which character set
to use.
To make sure that documents are delivered with the correct content
type several methods can be used. The <meta> tag proposed by
Netscape is one means but we recommend using the RXML tag
<header> as it adds the content type information to the HTTP
header, making it less browser dependent than the <meta> tag.
The <header> tag should be placed within the <head>
container. Remember that when writing the name of the charset it
should always be stated in lowercased letters.
