European language/french stemmer in Javascript

Question

Hello, I am in need of a stemmers written in Javascript for european languages. I'm currently looking for a french stemmer, but if there's stemmer for any other language, please let me know. There are stemmers available in Java, but not for javascript!

Here are the Java implementations: http://snowball.tartarus.org/

You can download all stemmers at once from here: http://snowball.tartarus.org/dist/libstemmer_java.tgz

These are based on Porter algorithm.

Answer 1

What I've done was not a real translation of one Programming language to another.

What I've done is: I've look at the description of the algorithm and put this in code on my own. I never looked at the java or c implementation. I've only looked at: http://snowball.tartarus.org/algorithms/german/stemmer.html

but for french you should take a look at: http://snowball.tartarus.org/algorithms/french/stemmer.html

With this you should be able to code a stemmer in any language you want.

Answer 2

I used Porter stemmers in my Firefox add-on. You should make special for Firefox add-ons import code instruction of FrenchStemmer.js in lines

Components.utils.import("resource://urim/analysis/stemmer/Among.js");
Components.utils.import("resource://urim/analysis/stemmer/SnowballProgram.js");

as inline code to produce one stemmer file or something like this.
