When I create a new project in omegaT 3.6, it'll use version 3.0 of the Lucene tokenizer for the source language German and version 3.6 for the target language Dutch.

Since I see that I can also manually select version 3.6 of the Lucene tokenizer for the source language German, I'd like to learn what the differences are between the versions 3.0 and 3.6 of the Lucene tokenizer for German.

According to translators translating from German, 3.0 uses a better stemming algorithm compared with 3.1 and latter.

You can read a thread on what started the need to configure the behaviour here:
https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/OmegaT/conversations/topics/28375

In OmegaT 4.0, selecting the behaviour won't be necessary. All the tokenizers perform correctly, except German for which we found a way of replicating tokenizer 3.0 behaviour.
