Multiple Languages, Global and Local Filters, FilterPlus Characters

To read a page from a Luxembourgian newspaper, in which articles on a single page appear in French, German, and Luxembourgian. The page contains six zones. The text contains no miscellaneous characters (mathematical symbols, etc.). Zone 5 contains uppercase letters only, with no digits, and only three punctuation characters: the comma, the period (full-stop), and a question mark. Zone 6 presents a currency conversion table containing the digits, the comma, and the currency codes of Luxembourg and its neighbors: LUF, FRF, DEM, BEF, and EUR.

The language selection is set to French, German, and Luxembourgian. The DefaultFilter property is used to specify the global filter, to filter out only the 30 miscellaneous characters:

ALPHA | PUNCTUATION | DIGIT.

A local filter is defined for zone 5:

UPPERCASE | PLUS.

A different local filter is defined for zone 6:

DIGIT | PLUS, or simply NUMBERS.

These have the same effect.

The FilterPlus property is set to validate the FilterPlus characters needed in zone 5 and zone 6:

The comma, the period, the question mark, and the currency letters, B D E F L M R U.
