How to handle text search langage set up in projects where different langages are used?

[Veronique Gosselain]

I've got colleagues working in two different langages in their projects. In the actual cases, one of the langages is not in the list of NVivo langages for text search. Any way, I would like to know if it is possible to handle different langages in a single NVivo project, either if the different langages are part of the available langages or not. Thank you!

Hi Véronique,

Yes you can. NVivo uses character strings to search so it will find words in either language. However, as there will be no dictionary for the language that is not included in the list, you won't be able to use the 'stem search' or synonyms while searching that language as this facility relies on the dictionary. Conversely, you can still use these facilities for the language that is included in the list. 

Kind regards,
