Russian words in cloud

Asked by Nick

In Russian language words may be flexible with same meaning: "человек" (man), "человека", "человеку", "человеке" - but cloud show it as different words.
Can I create list of flexible forms of one meaning - to prevent it?

That would require adding flexible forms support for ALL the
languages...

This would be too difficult to implement.

But without it RedNoteBook cannot work with many languages properly...

The word cloud is just a nice gimmick, not an essential feature IMO.

Gee, I think a simple wildcard processor would solve Nick's problem. As an example, "chelovek*" would solve the particular case he mentioned. I think that capability would be great for any supported language. For an immediate, simple implementation, the use of the * could be limited to the end of words. Later, the capability could be expanded to full pattern matching. Wouldn't that be incredibly simple to implement? (Perhaps I'm missing something here.)

The words to be used in the cloud are picked up automatically: the
program cannot automatically join them under the wildcard match (will
be too many false-positives here, unless it uses something like Aspell
for it -- which is way too much!).
It, of course, might be a solution in the form of special field for
"force these tags into the cloud"... But it will be too difficult to
maintain.
