As far as I know with accents you always have to type the accent symbol separately before the letter. For example: á = ´ + a. I know that there are different types of keyboards around the world which makes it even more difficult. Does french keyboard have a separate key for "á" or do you guys "build" it from two different symbols when you type, as I do? I think german layout has a separate key for "ü" but when I type I have to "build" it ¨ + u =ü. etc. etc.
What I'm trying to say is that it might be impossible to do both accents and diacritics, but it might be possible to include accents only, since as far as I know they are always combination of symbol and letter and no keyboard layout have a separate key for them.
Somebody, please correct me if I'm wrong. Anyway, a very difficult, but interesting issue indeed... |

| | Posted: | | | | I for one wouldn't mind if I get both Bjork and Björk when I search for either because that's what exists in the database. Sure, they could be different persons, but it sounds more like a theoretical problem than a real one. | | | | First registered: February 15, 2002 | | | | Last edited: by Nexus the Sixth |

Are accented letters completely different compared the ones without ,or does the accent just change the pronounciation? |

| | Posted: | | | | Check your character map and do a comparison of Hex code for the possible differences that could occur per language a, à, á, â, ã, ä, å and you can see it isn't simple task as converting upper case (A) to lowercase (a).
A look up table appears to be the only answer that links various differences in any particular name.
Then it is up to those concerned with the correction to request an addition to the table with documentation to add to the table.
For any one person to create and determine all the possible entries such a table is ridiculous. | | | We don't need stinkin' IMDB's errors, we make our own.

But using one in place of another is considered as a spelling mistake, particularly with c and ç, for which the pronounciation is totally different : ca and ka are pronounced the same ça and ssa also In France, we have in fact quite never spelling mistake between c and ç , (except for dvdprofiler users  ) But ê and è are pronounced the same, so we have often spelling mistakes about them. | | | | Images from movies |
