It seems that there are even more options --
4/ One index, with a separate Lucene document for each (item,language)
combination, with one field that specifies the language
5/ One index, one Lucene document per item, with field names that
include the language (e.g. title_en, title_cn)
I quite like 4, because you can search with no language constraint, or
with one as Paul suggests below.
You can in both cases. In the second, you need to expand the query (ie
searching for carrot would search text_en:carrot or text_cn:carrot",
which, I think is fair as long as you don't a two kilometer's list of
languages.
However, some "non language-specific" data might need to be repeated
(e.g. dates), unless we had an extra Lucene document for all that. I
wonder what the various pros and cons in terms of index size and
performance would be in each case? I really don't have enough
knowledge of Lucene to have any idea...
If you separate the indices you won't, as far as I know, be able to
query simultaneously (e.g. some text which, as well, is new
enough....).
