The same query using contains against XML data returns different results if nls_language is different, e.g. for word Venezuela.

alter session set nls_language='french';
select * from iris_fulltext where contains(rawcontent,'$venezuela within text',0)>0;

-> returns 457 matching rows

alter session set nls_language='german;
select * from iris_fulltext where contains(rawcontent,'$venezuela within text',0)>0;

-> returns no rows
