    Hi,

    How many languages are supported?
    In principle every language is supported which a) can be represented by characters at all and b) which consists of words which can be detected by some separation character or mechanism. There are, however, some specific operators (preprocessing steps) within the Text Extension which supports a fixed set of languages. For example the step 'stemming' which is supported for German, English, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, Romanian, Dutch, Swedish, Norwegian, Danish, Finnish, Russian, Hungarian, Turkish. But not every process needs stemming and hence there is more often no language restriction at all. That is - in my opinion - one of the major advantages of a statistical approach compared to linguistic approaches.

    Can I export the analyzed text?
    Yes. (Dude! Read our marketing materials!  ;) )

    like a XML?
    In almost every format you can think of. With RapidAnalytics also in XSL which can then again be transformed by XSLT. Or you simply use some of the RapidMiner operators like "Write" which also directly support XML. Or you write into a database. Or...

    How many formats (pdf xls) are supported?
    Again: Read our marketing materials!

    You name the format. I will say 'Yes. This is supported.' In rare cases I would have to answer: 'Huh? Never heard of this one...'  ;D

    Cheers,
    Ingo

    Can I ask you where the language packages? I'm using the Tokenize operator but i don't know where to find the "Italian" tokenizator...
    Thanks!

    Hi Andrea,

    there is no language restriction for the existing tokenizer. Ingo referred to the stemmer when naming the supported languages. The tokenizer should work for Italian language. Do you experience problems when trying to tokenize Italian text?

    Hi, thanks for your reply!
    I've not tried it, because i've got to use the Text:Filter Stopwords (English) Operator that is in english... Maybe there's an italian verion of Text:Filter Stopwords?

    Thanks!

    Hi,

    having a look at the operators it seems there is no Italian stopword filter. In this case you will probably have to use the "Filter Stopwords (Dictionary)" operator that allows you to define your own stopwords. Maybe there is some public list available somewhere for common Italian stopwords!?

    Regards
