Hi, may I ask about the workthrough to use Spanish rake? thanks.

AliceLee1203 commented 7 years ago

Have you found the solution yet? I met the same problem in Chinese.

AxelAli commented 7 years ago

You could download the spanish ntlk file. for example , i use r = Rake(language='portuguese') for portuguese!

@chikiuso : @AxelAli is right. As long as nltk can tokenize the sentences in the language of your choice (which here is Spanish, which I do believe it does) you can create object using

r = Rake(language='spanish')

or you can provide your own stopwords and punctuation set to the object as

r = Rake(stopwords=<list of stopwords>, punctuations=<list of punctuations>)

and hence completely eliminate the need for providing the language. But do know that as the tokenizer still needs to know how to tokenize a language, if nltk doesn't support a particular language this package also wont.
