Fairly nebulous requirements, but I recently was involved in a multilingual search platform.

The approach, translated to solr 1.3 would be to use multicore - one core per geography. Then a schema.xml per core, each with a different language in the porter algorithm, stopwords etc - taken from snowball.

Then on the german front end you make requests to the de core, on the english front end make requests to the english core.

This is much simpler than sorting every language in the one index, for example german queries will need to be run through the german query filters etc. If you have all languages in one schema, then you will have to do some front end logic to map the query to the correct field.

You have failed to consider internationalisation of the query side of the process - your field type merely have analysis filters. Additionally, if the data source for each different geography is different it makes sense to separate the indexes and subsequently the ingestion mechanisms and schedules.

Just a few thoughts.
