For most purposes it's logical that spaces are meant to separate words.
You might look into the CommonGramsFilterFactory which can re-combine 
combinations with words from a list and add them as terms in the index.
This requires you to set up extra field configurations on the server, 
which is only advisable if you know what you're doing.

It's better to use a different core for each language. In EXT:solr there 
are already core definitions for many languages. Each has configuration 
that fits the way words are formed in those languages.
You can upload the cores you need to the solr server and edit solr.xml 
on the server to let solr know which cores are located where (restart 
tomcat after editing that file).
In TypoScript you usually have conditions for each L-parameter value and 
configuration for the language connected with that value. In that 
configuration you can also set which solr core to use for each language.

Solr has hooks to add the changed data to the indexing queue. If you run 
the scheduler task often it only takes very little time before the 
changes are in the index.
