feature request - code to get reviews in different languages

[MrRaghav]

Hello, I want to thank you for this code. I've used it for my university project.

However, as an additional feature I've created a small python script "reviewsInLanguages.py" to collect the reviews in the languages other than English. If you find it okay, please add it to your code base. This python script can be used after running following command:

python3 amazon-reviews-scraper/amazon_comments_scraper.py -s "text to be searched" \
                                             &>> ../outputfiles/input.txt

import sys
import langid
import pandas as pd

#usage:
#python3 reviewsInLanguages.py <inputfile> <two letter language> <output.csv>
#
#example:
#python3 reviewsInLanguages.py inputs_dir/God_Talks_with_Arjuna_01012017.txt hi outputs_dir/God_Talks_with_Arjuna.csv

fileValue = sys.argv[1]

file1 = open(fileValue, 'r')
Lines = file1.readlines()
list = []
count = 0
ListOfLanguages = ['af','am','an','ar','as','az','be','bg','bn','br','bs','ca','cs','cy','da','de','dz','el','en','eo','es','et','eu','fa','fi','fo','fr','ga','gl','gu','he','hi','hr','ht','hu','hy','id','is','it','ja','jv','ka','kk','km','kn','ko','ku','ky','la','lb','lo','lt','lv','mg','mk','ml','mn','mr','ms','mt','nb','ne','nl','nn','no','oc','or','pa','pl','ps','pt','qu','ro','ru','rw','se','si','sk','sl','sq','sr','sv','sw','ta','te','th','tl','tr','ug','uk','ur','vi','vo','wa','xh','zh','zu']

if len(sys.argv[2])==2:
    if sys.argv[2] in ListOfLanguages:
        # Strips the newline character
        for line in Lines:
            a = langid.classify(line)
            if a[0]==sys.argv[2]:
                list.append(line)
    else:
        print("Please check https://pypi.org/project/langid/1.1dev/ and if your input language is available there, add it to ListOfLanguages")
else:
    print("please enter the language with length of 2 characters")
    sys.exit()

df = pd.DataFrame(list)
df.to_csv(sys.argv[3], encoding='utf-8')

Note: A better approach would be to run this command through the scheduler in Linux It worked well for me and I collected 2900+ reviews.
