Hey Michael,

Have you given it a try? I would think they would work, but haven't actually done it. Setup a small test that reads in a PDF in French or Spanish and give it a try. You might have to worry about encodings or something, but the structure of the files should be the same, i.e. they are valid Word, etc. documents.

Yea, I have seen those. I guess the question is what do you all use to extract text from Word, Excel, PPT and PDF? Can I use POI, PDFBox and so on? This is what I use now to extract english.

Thanks,
Michael

If you can extract token stream from those files already, you can simply use different analyzers to analyze those token stream appropriately. Check out
Lucen-contrib analyzers at
