Spanish language sample data #170

Closed kanarinka closed 8 years ago

To be really internationalized we should have spanish language sample data for the tools. @rahulbot - do you think we should work towards this? We'd need to get lyrics for spanish-speaking musicians and make sure the spanish activity guide references those. As well as 1-2 spanish language data sets for WTFcsv.

Agreed. I tried to get lyrics from the same source for Spanish artists, but their data isn't encoded well (lots garbage chars). Maybe we can scrape lyrics from genius or something? On Thu, Jan 7, 2016 at 7:28 AM kanarinka notifications@github.com wrote:

En cuanto a bases de datos curiosas, solo se me ocurre la que elabora el INE a partir de los datos del padrón con los nombres más comunes en España. Se puede consultar aquí:
