Hi, guys, I found Analyzers for Japanese, Korean and Chinese, but not stemmers; the Snowball stemmers only include European languages. Does stemming not make sense for ideograph-based languages (i.e., no stemming is needed for Japanese, Korean and Chinese)?
Also for spell checking, does the default Lucene SpellChecker work for Japanese, Korean and Chinese? Does edit distance make sense for these languages? What other gotcha's can you guys think of when making Lucene work with foreign languages, besides analyzer, stemmer and spell checking? Thanks in advance for your help.
