Would it be possible to have a search page in http://www.texmacs.org/search/
in English rather than French?

This is all the more incoherent that it seems that
only english documents are indexed : if you use
french words in this french search page, you never
get any result !

On the other heand, the meaning of the labels is
not that hard to guess...


This issue seems to be ubiquitous in the
texmacs website. For example http://www-stats.texmacs.org/ leads to a
French web page.

Aha. The reason why this webpage is in French is
because the TeXmacs website is hosted by citic74.fr,
which is an organization from the French state, thus
they are the ones who decide the language (it's probably
the same for the search page).


For French illiterates like me, this is not very
convenient. I think it will be nice to maintain a consistent language for
all the webpages under www.texmacs.org.


I don't know if it's easy to change this (although
it should be possible).

If not, I suggest translating the page to a language
like latin or ancient greek, this way everybody will
be equally served ;)...
