Search API Entity Translation is a minimalist approach of making multilingual content managed via entity translations searchable via Search API.
The current approach simply offers a new search API field named "Multilingual full text" which concatenates all the entity translations of a specific entity, thus making it possible to search in any content translation/language.
This is, of course, not very intelligent (since the translations/languages of content cannot be properly distinguished in the search, let alone searched language specificly or independently) - but it's a first simply approach.
Search API Entity Translation is written for Drupal 7 and used in production environments. It is currently only thouroughly tested and used with node based indexes, though.
