Re-reading the documentation, and I have the answer.  If adding a tsvector column, then for per row selection, I should also add a second column of type regconfig to specify the language that rows contents are in.

Cheers,

Andy

With full text search, if you need to support a table where the content of individual tuples/rows may be in different languages with the language of the content known, and the content of any individual row does not contain a mixture of languages, what is the best way to design for this?

Would you create a different GIN/GiST index of the tsvector  for each language?  Or if using columns to store the tsvector, would you have a different column per language, or the one column with the associated trigger using the appropriate language when building the tsvector for that row?

Are there better alternatives than what I have listed?

Thanks,

Andy
