Supported languages

You can specify that text documents be processed using a specific language.

You can specify the language for the indexed text data in the SYSPROC.SYSTS_CREATE administration stored procedure. If you set the value to AUTO, the OmniFind Text Search Server for DB2® for i tries to determine the language. For short documents, automatic detection might be not accurate and is not recommended. The default language for linguistic processing is English (en_US).
