Description

API document on
Query.parse(String queryString,
String queryLang,
Configuration conf)

does not explain what queryLang is, and should be explained.

There can be at least two interpretations:

(1) Create a Query that restricts the search to include only the documents written in the specified language. So this would
be equivalent of specifying "lang:xx" where xx is a two-letter language code.

(2) Create a Query interpreting the queryString according to the rules of the specified languages. In reality, this is used to
select the proper language Analyzer to parse the query string.

I am guessing that (2) is intended.
