Abstract
A document to be indexed is initially indexed in dependence upon language-specific rules of a single language. A success metric is used to assess the effectiveness of the single language indexing. If a threshold level of success is not attained, the document is identified as multi-lingual. In response to identifying the document as multi-lingual, the document is queued for multi-lingual indexing. A document may be fragmented into a number of smaller documents, each of which is indexed separately.
