Thank you both for responding. Is there a way to specify to Solr to add those attributes on the field when it returns results (e.g. Language is Arabic, English. Or direction is LTR or RTL.)?
Right now I only have Arabic content indexed, but we plan to add English in the near future. I don't want to have to re-do everything later if there is a better way of designing this now.
