Multilingual Entity Extraction

Hi,

Is there any support planned to support Entity Extraction in other languages? E.g. French, German, etc. 

Regards,
Ainga

In our group we are working to release a new FISE engine that extract DBPedia entities and handles Italian.
A demo of the tool is available at [1]. You can select either English or Italian.

Yes it is planned. There is some cooperation underway with the
upstream OpenNLP project to build new statistical language model from
various free to redistribute corpora. I have also started some proof

On the Stanbol side, we need to upgrade to OpenNLP 1.5 asap and
un-hard-code the model loading:
