DocuBrowse v1.5.2 — Chinese Support (Simplified + Traditional)

DocuBrowse now runs entirely in Chinese — both Simplified (zh) and
Traditional (zh-hant) — bringing the supported languages to English,
Japanese, Korean, and Chinese.

Highlights

  • Chinese language support (Simplified + Traditional). Full UI translations
    (locales/zh.json, locales/zh-hant.json) plus README translations
    (README-zh.md, README-zh-hant.md). Both variants use the bge-m3
    multilingual embedder and the ornith-1.5:9b synopsis model; Traditional is
    driven by a prompt that forces 繁體/正體字 output.
  • CJK keyword search covers Chinese. The existing character-bigram
    segmentation already spans the CJK Unified range, so Simplified and
    Traditional both index and match reliably for 2+ character terms — no engine
    change required.
  • Localized end-user guide. EndUser_docs/ is now organized by language
    (English/, Japanese/, Korean/, Chinese/), each with a translated
    User_Guide.docx.
  • Localized man pages. docubrowser(1), docuback(1), and
    docubrowse.config(5) are translated into Japanese, Korean, Simplified
    (zh_CN), and Traditional (zh_TW); man serves your locale and falls back
    to English otherwise.
  • Man pages added. First-class Linux man pages for the two CLI tools and the
    config-file format, installed into the RPM and DEB packages.
  • Packaging. Every package type (RPM, DEB, tarball, Windows, macOS) now
    ships the per-language documentation tree.

Notes

  • One DocuBrowse install serves one language at a time (interface, search, and
    synopsis). Japanese, Korean, and both Chinese variants share the same search
    engine, so switching among them needs no re-index; switching to or from
    English does.
  • No first-letter index bar for Chinese (it is not alphabetic), the same as
    Japanese.
