Recoll's list of languages where stemming is available via Xapian algorithm lacks a language in which most of my documents are written.

I searched both in the Recoll manual for ways of downloading more languages as well as on Xapian website, but there seems to be no additional languages.

So, are these languages the only ones supported for stemming?

  • arabic
  • armenian
  • basque
  • catalan
  • danish
  • dutch
  • english
  • finnish
  • french
  • german
  • hungarian
  • italian
  • norwegian
  • portuguese
  • romanian
  • spanish
  • russian
  • swedish
  • turkish

    You can look at lesbonscomptes.com/recoll which has "If you run into a problem, or want to propose improvements, you are welcome to use the mailing list or problem tracker." IIRC, the developer is quite accessible and responsive.
