Remarks

Note Note: The results listed above reflect the default match sensitivity (85).
This definition uses Dutch phonetic reduction to match words with similar sounds and spellings in Dutch (see examples 2 and 3). Some translation of French data is performed to enable matching across languages (see example 4). Note that translations cannot be performed for French words that are misspelled in the input string (see example 5).

To match misspellings for French, we recommend setting up a job using a scheme to correct misspellings in French before generating match codes with this definition. For more details, see the Remarks for the Street Name match definition.
