General ⇒ Cannot locate xindy module for language dutch in codepage utf8?

[eezacque]

Texmaker executes xindy as:

Code: Select all

xindy -I xindy -L dutch -M test -C utf8 -t test.glg -o test.gls test.glo

This gives the following error message:

Code: Select all

Cannot locate xindy module for language dutch in codepage utf8

When I manually enter:

Code: Select all

xindy -I xindy -M test -t test.glg -o test.gls test.glo

All works correctly, and glossary entries show up, as expected.

LaTeX file test.tex:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{report}

\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[dutch]{babel}
\usepackage{appendix}
\usepackage[automake,xindy={language=dutch,codepage=utf8}]{glossaries}

Running Ubuntu 18.04.3, xindy script version: 1.18, xindy kernel version: 3.0

Cannot seem to wrap my head around this, any help is appreciated.

AFAIUI, Xindy offers two variants for Dutch spelling, where `ij' is sorted differently---as `ij' or as `y'.
Simply prepend the variant you want to `utf8' in your codepage statement, such as

Code: Select all

\usepackage[automake,xindy={language=dutch,codepage=ij-as-y-utf8}]{glossaries}

then Xindy should load

Code: Select all

Loading module "lang/dutch/ij-as-y-utf8-lang.xdy"...
Loading module "lang/dutch/ij-as-y-utf8.xdy"...

(the alternate variant would be `ij-as-ij-utf8')

Works like a charm! I think it is a good suggestion for the authors of xindy to pick a default; also, I think it is a little awkward to hide a language variant in a code page?

Thanks for sorting me out,

If you have a feature request, you should send it to the author of xindy.
