[Snowball-discuss] German Stemmer

[Gary Davidson]

I have implemented  6 of the stemmers using NLucene on a .NET ECommerce site 
in Europe, currently my clients are very happy with stemming except for one 
excpetion. The German words "Papiere" and "Papieres" do not stem to the same 
  root "papiere" as I thought they would. Is there some reason for this? As 
I am a programmer and not a linguist I am at a loss.

TIA

Gary Davidson
