title: Lucene Multilingual text field
body: <p>I have looked at this question - <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5264866/indexing-multilingual-words-in-lucene">Indexing multilingual words in lucene</a> and it confirmed some of my suspicions.</p>
  
  <p>I have an entity with a number of fields I wish to index. One of these fields can be one of several languages, and I need to use different analyzers for each language.</p>
  
  <p>Am I best to implement this as different fields in the same index or as different indexes for each language?</p>
  
  <p>I am guessing that the trade off is between the overhead of running multiple indexes and the suckiness of cluttering up a single index.</p>
  
  <p>Any advice appreciated.</p>
