Knime support for chinese characters

KNIME Analytics Platform

Hi All. A very good day. How does Knime read chinese characters or for that matter any language other than english. Do we have node or a plugin that can read chinese characters from PDF.

Thanks and Regards,

Kavita

Hello Kavita,

Please excuse the late reply.

I am not sure if I get your question. Reading documents is language independent. All that needs to be done is the reading of characters, which is of course possible for Chinese characters if you select the right encoding.
For PDFs you can use the PDF Parser with UTF-8 encoding (works for chinese characters).

The language becomes important once you go into the analysis. I don't know what languages are covered by the Text Mining nodes, sorry.

Hope I could still be of some help.
Best,
Ferry
