Do you mean different language versions of items? Why do you want to create separate indexes for them? Just add your context language to the query and you'll receive only search hits in your chosen language. – Marek Musielak
Yes different different versions of items since our content is huge for each language and for other reasons as well we need different Indexes for each language – user2332873

The only way to do this is by creating a custom crawler, following is a sample code that configures the English language as the index language, I think you can start from there:

All the information can be found here: https://ggullentops.blogspot.be/2016/10/custom-sitecore-index-crawler.html

private string indexLanguage;

public string Language
{
  get  {  return !string.IsNullOrEmpty(indexLanguage) ? indexLanguage : null; }
  set  {  indexLanguage = value; }
}

protected override void DoAdd(IProviderUpdateContext context, SitecoreIndexableItem indexable)
{
  Assert.ArgumentNotNull(context, "context");
  Assert.ArgumentNotNull(indexable, "indexable");
  using (new LanguageFallbackItemSwitcher(context.Index.EnableItemLanguageFallback))
  {
    Index.Locator.GetInstance<IEvent>().RaiseEvent("indexing:adding", context.Index.Name, indexable.UniqueId, indexable.AbsolutePath);
    if (!IsExcludedFromIndex(indexable, false))
    {
      foreach (var language in indexable.Item.Languages)
      {
        // only include English
        if (!language.Name.Equals(indexLanguage, StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase))
        {
          continue;
        }

        Item item;
        using (new WriteCachesDisabler())
        {
          item = indexable.Item.Database.GetItem(indexable.Item.ID, language, Version.Latest);
        }

        if (item == null)
        {
          CrawlingLog.Log.Warn(string.Format(CultureInfo.InvariantCulture, "SitecoreItemCrawler : AddItem : Could not build document data {0} - Latest version could not be found. Skipping.", indexable.Item.Uri));
        }
        else
        {
          SitecoreIndexableItem sitecoreIndexableItem;
          using (new WriteCachesDisabler())
          {
            // only latest version
            sitecoreIndexableItem = item.Versions.GetLatestVersion();
          }

          if (sitecoreIndexableItem != null)
          {
            IIndexableBuiltinFields indexableBuiltinFields = sitecoreIndexableItem;
            indexableBuiltinFields.IsLatestVersion = indexableBuiltinFields.Version == item.Version.Number;
            sitecoreIndexableItem.IndexFieldStorageValueFormatter = context.Index.Configuration.IndexFieldStorageValueFormatter;
            Operations.Add(sitecoreIndexableItem, context, index.Configuration);
          }
        }
      }
    }

    Index.Locator.GetInstance<IEvent>().RaiseEvent("indexing:added", context.Index.Name, indexable.UniqueId, indexable.AbsolutePath);
  }
}
