It may be helpful to approach this from the other side. Specifically search.
Are you: 1) Expecting to search across both French and English content (e.g. French, but fallback to English if translation is missing)? If yes, you want a single collection 2) Is French content completely separate from English content or are they just a couple of translated fields in otherwise shared entity? If later, you want a single collection. 3) Are you accessing all languages at once when you retrieve a record or just one language at a time? If all languages at once, you want a single collection. And so on. If your content is completely separate, you could do different collections. Otherwise, you probably want the same collection. If you do want a single collection, there is a couple of things you can do to make it transparent for the frontend code to switch between languages and make search transparent. While not a production use, it is explored in details in my just released book: http://www.packtpub.com/apache-solr-for-indexing-data/book . The corresponding example is at: https://github.com/arafalov/solr-indexing-book/tree/master/published/languages but I am not sure how easy it is to understand without the walkthrough in the book.
