I have to support dynamic\_templates for many languages. What is the best approach in regards to index mapping if we want to add mappings for different languages based on document language field 1. Is it better to upload all of them using in index template at once for all languages or update dynamic\_templates by adding new mapping for given language on demand ? 2 is it possibly to update index settings and mapping at one rest request? ---
