I would like to use Mathematica NLP functions to analyze texts in French. I haven’t found any documentation on how good it will be compared to english (and if it’s even possible to use non-english languages).

For instance, I have just tried:

moon = WikipediaData["Lune", Language -> "French"];
contents = TextContents[moon, VerifyInterpretation -> True]

and got the error message NaturalLanguageProcessingTextTokenize::liberr: -- Message text not found -- (Java) (MathLinkException: 49: Unable to convert from MathLink encoding to requested character encoding)

Is this just an encoding problem or a more general problem related to using non-english languages?

    $\begingroup$ This seems like a bug in TextContents. It may not work with other languages, but a character encoding issue is not the way you should find out! I would recommend submitting a bug report. $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ @CarlLange I will. Any idea about is Mathematica good for doing NLP in non-english language? $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ Unfortunately I don't have any experience of using TextContents with different languages, though it appears to function at least a little bit. $\endgroup$
