Dear authors of the classifier library,  
Dear all,

I have been using your library to summarize English texts and find  
it very nice. Thank you for it!  
Somewhere, you use the Porter stemmer to chop off word  
endings from English words. Now , I would like to use your  
library in combination with any of the stemmers for other  
languages,e.g., from the page

to treat texts in other languages than English.  
How could that be done ?  
Thank you for your help,  
Axel
