I was thinking about it and it was one of my wishes.
Currently, Solr practically requires that we have
a field for each natural language that an application
supports.  If the app needs to support English, French and
German, we would have to have title_en, title_fr, and title_de
(suffixes are ISO 2-letter lang codes) instead of just 
a title field.  This isn't pretty.  

What if we want to support 15 languages?  It would be much 
better if we can have just one title field and language 
information associated with the value.  

But after I thought about it a bit deeper, I think the
current ugly solution is actually practical.  This is because 
most users want to find documents of the languages they 
understand.  So if a user indicate they understand English and 
German only, we just need to search title_en and title_de.

Maybe I'm missing something...
