Support : Dialog Search Aids : Multilingual Titles in Dialog File 144 Multilingual Titles in Dialog File 144 "PASCAL"
The title of the original document and any translation(s) of that title into other languages are indexed in the /TI field. Most records for documents written in languages that use the Roman alphabet include the original title of the document in the language in which it was written. The original language is supplemented by translation titles in English or French. For documents written in languages that use a non-Roman alphabet, (e.g., Cyrillic, Chinese, etc.), the original title is transliterated in some records, in other records the original title in the non-Roman alphabet is omitted and only a translated title is provided. All translated titles appear in the record in parentheses. All words (except stop words) in the original and translated title(s) are searchable as single words using proximity operators with the /TI suffix, e.g.,
The title may include punctuation marks. Use the (W) operator to replace all punctuation, e.g., SELECT X(W)RAY(W)IMAGING/TI is used to retrieve X-RAY IMAGING. If the title includes a stop word (AN, AND, BY, FOR, FROM, OF, THE, TO, WITH) use the (1W) operator to replace that word, e.g.,

Most records include an English translation of the original title. Except for stop words, all words in the English Title field are searchable as single words using proximity operators with the /ET suffix, e.g.,
Note that terms in the /ET field may reflect either British or American spelling variations, therefore a search strategy should allow for these variations. For example, to retrieve the term GRAY MATTER, spelled "grey" or "gray" in the English Title field, use internal truncation, e.g., SELECT GR?Y(W)MATTER/ET Search results may be sorted by English Title. topFRENCH TITLE (Original or Translated) (/FT). Titles of documents originally published in French and translations of titles from other languages into French are indexed in the /FT field. Many records include a translation of the original title into French. Except for stop words, all words in the French Title field are searchable as single words using proximity operators with the /FT suffix, e.g.,
Search results may be sorted by French Title. topSPANISH TITLE (Original) /ST). Original titles in Spanish Language are indexed in the /ST field. Except for stop words, all words in the Spanish Title field are searchable as single words using proximity operators with the /ST suffix, e.g.,
