Swedish language Watson Conversation bot - watson-conversation

I'd like to know what my options are for creating a Swedish language chatbot using Watson Conversation? To give some background, I am an English speaking developer and I have a requirement to develop a chatbot for a Swedish speaking client company. What occurred to me was to capture all the utterances in Swedish and link them to the relevant intents, that way I can make it bilingual if I want by capturing utterances in English too. Am I missing something here maybe?

What you can do is use language translator.
Translate Swedish language input to English.
Built Chat bot in English.
Then Same way convert English responses in Swedish.

Change Google Analytics report api language

I am working with Google Analytics report api
I want to know if API support lang change.
I've googled, but no information had been founded.
I want to make sure there is no language change support, before translating it myself.
I am creating UI, which supports "Korean".
You can not change the underlying language returned by a Google api. These are designed in English and the data is often stored in English as well unless they are strict strings submitted by a user in another language.
These string you will need to translate locally yourself.
You may want to consider sending a feature request issue tracker. While i doubt they would consider adding anything to the reporting api at this time since it will be discontinued in a year or so. Its worth bringing it up to them maybe they will add it to the data api for GA4

question about web scraping(as a beginner)

I have a hobby of reading news. The problem is, there are quite a lot of websites I often go to, and this gives me an idea: building my own database of news. The idea is similar to the newspaper clippings. For example, I read something interesting about Germany economics news, therefore, I can use this software to save all the text and images from the said site(into my computer), and I can add tags such as "Germany", "econ" so I can find it and read it later. I shared this idea with my friend and he said web scraping is not easy because not every site allows you to do that. So my question is, how should I begin this with? I study computer engineering so I got some programming understanding but obviously not enough. Any clues or experience(for the web scraping and tagging) sharing will be helpful, thank you!
Python has a couple of good web-scraping tools that work well. Beautiful Soup 4, Scrapy, Selenium, requests to name a few.
Before web scraping I would recommend to learn the basics of python and how the web works.
Note that most websites disregard it if you scrape them. It is hard for them to track you doing it and if you only download a few specific sites it shouldnt be something they complain about - as it is not much more than pressing CTRL+C and download the whole site as an HTML.
Don't share it and don't spam requests - be a fair player. If you want to be on the safe side check out TOS of the website.

Integrating chatbot in skype

I am wondering if I could commit the chatbot mitsuku (pandorabots) to talk with my friends for me in skype.
Can I do this? If yes, what is a brief plan and what should I study to implement this. (or I can just click one button)
Originally I tried to find out, if I could integrate mitsuku in vk.com (russian social website) or facebook.
I know what you are looking for and don't know how to implement it BUT if I'm not mistaken, Skype has already integrated Mitsuku into its platform in the form of a Smartbot with a bot code of 0a24da83-12a6-4213-931f-54570c35e047

Spell checker software

I have been assigned a task to find a decent spell checker (UK English) preferably the free one for a project that we are doing.
I have looked at Google AJAX API for this. The project contains some young person's (kids less than 18 years old) data which shouldn't allow exposing or storing outside the application boundaries. Google logs the data for research purpose that means Google owns the data whatever we send over the wire through Google API. Is this right? I fired an email to Google regarding the privacy of data and storage but they haven't come back. If you have some knowledge regarding this please share with me.
At this point our servers might not have access to external entities that means we might not be able to use Web API for this over the wire. But it may change in the future. That means I have to find out some spell checker alternatives that can sit in our environment and do the job or an external APIs.
Would you mind share your findings and knowledge in this regard. I would prefer free services but never know if you have some cracking spell checker for a few quid’s then I don't mind recommending to the project board.
Technology using ASP.NET 3.5/4.0, MVC, jQuery, SQL Sever 2008 etc

GNU aspell might be suitable for your needs.
Yandex provides one. It is mainly targeted to Russian-speaking auditory, but it contains a dictionary for the English as well.
