Have a look at:

Although it is claimed that Namazu only supports English and Japanese,
users have had success with 8-bit charsets, mainly European ones.

Side note: I've had personal experience with problems of Namazu over
NFS, causing index update problems and searching to not work.  If using
NFS, make sure your systems are reliable.  Outages, network or system,
could corrupt an index.
