Is there a way to use "tm" with the Slovene characters? I ask, because I was hoping to use "tm" with languages like Arabic, Urdu, Farsi, and Hebrew. If you need to translate Slovene characters, it could create problems with using the software for the desired purpose in many languages, including Russian, which is on the list of languages currently supported.

The package includes two vignettes, the first of which cites two 2008 papers by Feinerer et al. in the Journal of Statistical Software and R News. Both those papers are freely downloadable. Have you looked at those?


I have not studied the "tm" documentation carefully, but the package includes a function "stopwords", which returns the "language tags" for an indicated language per the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF; www.ietf.org). Slovene is not among the languages currently supported, but "their IETF language tags may be used." I have not used the package, but you can supply your own list of stopwords for Slovene, similar to the following silly example:


> stopwords<-function(language='duh') if(language=='duh')return(c('duh', 'hud')) else tm:::stopwords(language)
> stopwords('duh')
[1] "duh" "hud"


This may not be all you need to do to use "tm" with Slovene, but it might help you with "stopwords".


      Hope this helps.
