Hi, I wonder how solr can satisfy our multi-language requirement.
For example, for movie/tv series titles, We require that based on user preferred language, user is able to get back titles name (and actor, directors) by selected language. For example, getTitlesByGenreId. On the other hand, we also support search by title name, actor or director name. Therefore, how shall i design the solr schema to accomate the requirement? Here is my current schema without consideration of the language: Someone recommended to store as a new doc for the same title in a different language. Then solr doc has a language field to denote what language the doc is for. I don't think this can work, right? Now all those title_name value in different language will share the same index/query analyzer since they are put int the same field. For different language (asci based vs asian language), you will need different parser, right? The way i see this can work is to add extra field for those language related field, such as title_name_ch (chinese), title_name_es (spanish) and etc. Then my application logic need to know what language specific field to query on based on user language preference. What do you think? In summary, shall i go with duplicate doc for title in another language, or shall i just change my schema to accomodate those additional language related fields? Thanks. Your help is appreciated. -- View this message in context: http://lucene.472066.n3.nabble.com/Help-on-Multi-language-support-tp2636054p2636054.html Sent from the Solr - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
