Thread: tsearch2 and a database with texts in different languages?

hi
i guess this should be a simple question:
is it possible to use tsearch2 in a database where i have texts in
different languages?
i.e. it is a database of technical texts written in at least 4
different languages (english, polish, russian and german).
probably more languages will be comming.
the question is - is it possible to setup tsearch2 indices to they
will allow me to search efficiently over this database.
i dont need stemmers (which might be a big point in this case), but
having them would be nice.

Yes. I believe you just need the right dictionaries. The site lists them.
