It's possible to support many languages using the PostgreSQL database backend.

In your settings.py file, add the following setting:

WATSON_POSTGRES_SEARCH_CONFIG = "pg_catalog.english"

You can view a list of supported languages by typing \dF into your psql shell. Common languages include:

• pg_catalog.danish
• pg_catalog.dutch
• pg_catalog.english
• pg_catalog.finnish
• pg_catalog.french
• pg_catalog.german
• pg_catalog.hungarian
• pg_catalog.italian
• pg_catalog.norwegian
• pg_catalog.portuguese
• pg_catalog.romanian
• pg_catalog.russian
• pg_catalog.spanish
• pg_catalog.swedish
• pg_catalog.turkish

Important: If you change the value of WATSON_POSTGRES_SEARCH_CONFIG in an existing project, you will need to recreate the django-watson search indices using:

./manage.py migrate watson zero
./manage.py migrate watson
./manage.py buildwatson
