Cannot Import Romanian Wordnet with nltk

[Marc Miquel]

Hello!

I am writing since I am struggling in order to use Romanian Wordnet with nltk.

I copied the folder and files I download from: http://compling.hss.ntu.edu.sg/omw/

open multilingual wordnet

But I couldn't make it work using:

 from nltk.corpus import RoWordNet as we

I also tried with different Romanian Wordnet and the result is the same... I am not sure the files are ok, the extensions inside are very different from the files from the original folder named Wordnet I downloaded automatically with nltk install.

Could anybody help me?

Thank you very much.

Marc

That’s not how it works. Find the folder nltk_data/corpora/omw/, and put the files you downloaded in a subfolder to match the others. Then access them using the usual wordnet interface, e.g. like this:

    from nltk.corpus import wordnet as wn

    print(wn.all_lemma_names(lang=“rom”)   # Or whatever the abbreviation is for Romanian

You also add `lang=rom` to get Romanian lemmas instead of English ones. I think the synsets are in principle shared among languages.
