mkalkbrennerApach Solr Multilingual provides the infrastructure for CLIR by adding translations to indexed content.
If you search the index, the translations are searched as well using the same search term (but handled in the correct language specific ways). The result of such a search is the untranslated original content.
The translation is stored using drupal's standards: content (aka node) translation or entity translation.
These translations must not be (and in most cases should not be) published. Normally these translations are machine translations. If you have high quality manual translations you don't need CLIR by definition ;-)
Apache Solr Multilingual does not provide a way to create the required translations. But there are different ways:
- use a web service like google translate
- use a dictionary for the keywords
- ...
There are some drupal modules to create such machine translations.
