Hi Michael,

That's a pretty open ended question and, I'm assuming, by "international languages" you mean non-English :-). You might get some mileage out of http://wiki.apache.org/lucene-java/IndexingOtherLanguages but it is a bit out of date (namely the sandbox references). Lucene indexes non-English languages just like it does English. You need to figure out what Analyzer you need (have a look in the contrib/ Analyzers code/javadocs for many existing languages) and then pretty much everything else is the same. Namely, the same principals apply (what to store, index, etc.), as they do in English.

Did you have something specific in mind? i.e. how to handle Chinese or some specific language? Lastly, if you do have a language in mind, try searching the mail archives for the name of that language.

HTH,
Grant

Would someone tell me how Lucene supports indexing and searching documents that contain international languages? What do I need to do in additions to
using the StandardAnalyzer?



Thanks.
