I think we should be using lucene with snowball jar's which means one index for all languages (ofcourse size of index is always a matter of concerns).

Hope this helps.

What is the "best practice" to support multiple languages, i.e. 
Lucene-Documents that have multiple language content/fields?
Should
a) each language be indexed in a seperate index/directory or should
b) the Documents (in a single directory) hold the diverse localized fields?

We most often will be searching "language dependent" which (at least 
performance wise) mandates one-directory-per-language...

Any (lucene specific) white papers on this topic?

Thx in advance
