How to enable Multi-Language Sentiment Analysis with R

Have you seen how easy it is to integrate sentiment analysis in your Tableau dashboard – if your text is in English?

Until now the sentiment package for R only worked with English text. Today, I released version 1.0 of the sentiment package on GitHub that features multi-language support. In order to perform sentiment analysis with German text, just add the parameter language="german" as shown in this example:

The new code allows you to add any language. So far, I started to prepare German sentiment files. French and Spanish sentiment files are on my to-do list.
