Hi everyone! (my first post) I am new, but really curious about usefullness of lucene/solr in documents search from the web applications. I use Ruby on Rails to create one, with plugin "acts_as_solr_reloaded" that makes connection between web app and solr easy.
So I am in a point, where I know that good solution is to prepare multi-language documents with fields like: question_en, answer_en, question_fr, answer_fr, question_pl, answer_pl... etc. I need to create an index that would work with 6 languages: english, french, german, russian, ukrainian and polish. My questions are: 1. Is it doable to have just one search field that behaves like Google's for all those documents? It can be an option to indicate a language to search. 2. How should I begin changing the solr/conf/schema.xml (or other) file to tailor it to my needs? As I am a real rookie here, I am still a bit confused about "fields", "fieldTypes" and their connection with particular field (ex. answer_fr) and the "tokenizers" and "analyzers". If someone can provide a basic step by step tutorial on how to make it work in two languages I would be more that happy. 3. Do all those languages are supported (officially/unofficialy) by lucene/solr? Thank you for help, Jakub Godawa.
