A method carried out in a data processing system, comprises the steps of: (a) reading an input string in a first language, (b) determining the position in the input string of at least one predetermined substring, (c) modifying said substring, and (d) outputting said string including said modified substring. The substring may be selected in a left to right or right to left direction, and the longest or shortest match may be accepted. The substring may be output with markers inserted before or after it (e.g. for use in text filtering or information retrieval applications). Alternatively, the substring may be replaced by a string, symbol of a second language, or by the empty string. |
