It provides a unified interface for tokenization, language detection, named entity recognition, part-of-speech tagging, sentiment analysis, word embeddings, morphological analysis, and transliteration. The package supports between 16 and 196 languages depending on the task.\n\nThe library works by loading pre-trained models for each language and task, then exposing them through a simple Python API. You instantiate a Text object with a string, and then access properties like `.language`, `.words`, `.sentences`, `.pos_tags`, `.entities`, and `.polarity` to retrieve annotations. Individual words can be examined for embeddings, morphemes, and transliteration. However, the package has not been actively maintained since 2016-07-03, and installation requires downloading external model data, which may present compatibility or availability challenges.","worth_installing":"No\u2014not for new projects. The package is dormant (last release 2016-07-03), classified as Beta, and carries high install friction due to external model dependencies. Maintenance status is unclear, and compatibility with modern Python versions is unverified. For current multilingual NLP work, consider actively maintained alternatives."},"id":"polyglot","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/polyglot","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/polyglot.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/polyglot/"},"maintenance":{"status":"dormant"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2016-07-03","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"copyleft","name":"polyglot","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"Polyglot is a natural language pipeline that supports massive multilingual applications."},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":91223,"position":13531,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"16.7.4"}
