To change the HTML is easy, you are right. Unfortunately there is a lot more to it than that. You would have to change the underlying code that performs the search to be able to handle searching on 2 languages. This would probably be easier with ElasticSearch than Zebra, but that is not in a stable release yet. Either way, it would be days not hours of work.
