[Snowball-discuss] Tweak stemmer: (say the German stemmer)

[Santosh Pai]

Hi,

 

Using the snowball stemmer is providing me with great results.

I had a question though


 

For some languages (say German, French), the stemmer replaces the special
language specific characters with corresponding English equivalents

For eg in German:

 

ä --> a

ö --> o

ü --> u

Ä --> A

Ö --> O

Ü --> U

ß --> ss”

 

Is there a way to preserve the special characters in the stems?

 

Thanks
