[Corpora-List] freely available tagger & segmenter for Portuguese, Spanish, and/or French

[Raphael Mudge]

Hi Dan,
Java includes sentence segmentation technology that was contributed by  
IBM. It's the java.text.BreakIterator class (intuitively named). I  
conducted a quick survey of available text segmentation tools for Java  
recently:

Of course a more thorough one was posted to this list awhile back:

As for POS taggers--I believe LanguageTool ( http:// 
www.languagetool.org ) [LGPL - commercial use OK] has a POS tagger for  
Spanish and French.

Best of luck.
