This question is probably not a completely Solr question but it's related to it. I'm dealing with a Japanese Solr application in which I would like to be able to search in any of the Japanese Alphabets. The content can also be in any Japanese Alphabet. I've been thinking in this solution: Convert everything to roma-ji, on Index time and query time. For example:
Indexing time: [Something in Hiragana] --> translate it to roma-ji --> index Searching time: [Something in Katakana] --> translate it to roma-ji --> search or [Something in Kanji] --> translate it to roma-ji --> search I don't have a deep understanding of Japanese, and that's my problem. Did somebody in the list tried something like this before? Did it work? Thanks, Tomás
