How does Federated Query Server translate queries?
The text of each Boolean and metadata operator, and the characteristics of the language, make up a language configuration. Federated Query Server has one language configuration for the user interface (i.e. for queries specified on the search form) and one language configuration for each content repository. Any operators that are found in the query text are translated from the user interface language to the languages of the content repositories. If an operator cannot be translated because it is not defined in the content repository language configuration, then either an alternative operator will be used if available, or the operator will be degraded until it can be translated.
