# Language & Locale · Global Fix Map
|
||
|
||
Stabilize multilingual RAG and reasoning across **CJK, RTL, Indic, Latin, emoji, and locale variants**.
|
||
This hub localizes language-layer failures and routes you to the exact structural fix. No infra change required.
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
## What this page is
|
||
- A compact **language-aware repair guide** for retrieval → ranking → reasoning.
|
||
- Structural fixes with measurable acceptance targets.
|
||
- Store-agnostic. Works with FAISS, Redis, pgvector, Elastic, Weaviate, Milvus, and more.
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
## When to use
|
||
- Corpus spans **CJK or Indic scripts** and retrieval keeps missing the correct section.
|
||
- Queries **code-switch or mix scripts**, and top-k order drifts across runs.
|
||
- **Accents/diacritics** or **fullwidth/halfwidth** forms break matching or citations.
|
||
- **RTL punctuation or control chars** flip token order or offsets.
|
||
- Token counts jump after deploy even though **data did not change**.

## Acceptance targets
|
||
- ΔS(question, retrieved) ≤ 0.45 on three paraphrases
|
||
- Coverage of target section ≥ 0.70
|
||
- λ remains convergent across two seeds
|
||
- Tokenization variance for the same query ≤ 12% across environments
|
||
- Normalization pass rate for NFKC + width + diacritics ≥ 0.98
|
||

|
||
|
||
## Fix in 60 seconds
|
||
1. **Normalize once, up front** → Apply NFKC, collapse fullwidth/halfwidth, unify diacritics.
|
||
2. **Match tokenizer and analyzer** → Same segmenter for CJK/Indic across embed + store analyzers.
|
||
3. **Stabilize mixed-script queries** → Detect code-switch, split per script, rerank deterministically.
|
||
4. **Verify** → ΔS ≤ 0.45, Coverage ≥ 0.70, λ convergent across two seeds.

## FAQ (Beginner-Friendly)
|
||
|
||
**Q1: Why do answers break when I mix English and Chinese in one query?**
|
||
A: Most vector stores tokenize differently by script. Without alignment, Chinese words get split incorrectly and English tokens dominate. Fix with [script_mixing.md](./script_mixing.md) and [tokenizer_mismatch.md](./tokenizer_mismatch.md).
|
||
|
||
**Q2: What does “locale drift” mean?**
|
||
A: Locale drift happens when environments use different analyzers (e.g., zh_TW vs zh_CN) so the same query splits differently. See [locale_drift.md](./locale_drift.md).
|
||
|
||
**Q3: Why do “identical-looking” characters not match?**
|
||
A: They may differ in width (fullwidth vs halfwidth), normalization (NFKC vs NFD), or diacritics. Always apply [unicode_normalization.md](./unicode_normalization.md) and [digits_width_punctuation.md](./digits_width_punctuation.md).
|
||
|
||
**Q4: How do I handle Arabic or Hebrew text?**
|
||
A: RTL scripts can insert invisible bidi control chars that flip token order. See [rtl_bidi_control.md](./rtl_bidi_control.md).
|
||
|
||
**Q5: Do I need different embeddings for each language?**
|
||
A: No. You can combine multilingual embeddings with deterministic normalization and alias fields. If that fails, only then use [fallback translation bridges](../Language/fallback_translation_and_glossary_bridge.md).
|
||
|
||
**Q6: How do I debug when results change between environments?**
|
||
A: Compare tokenizer version, analyzer settings, normalization passes, and collation rules. Document them in [data-contracts.md](../../data-contracts.md).
