 Hello there, I started testing the calais auto tagging features for the french language and I noticed that the tags returned are rare and irrelevant most of the time.  Is the system still under developpement, cause I provide texts with a lot of characters and even though that the tags returned don't really make sense with the content I posted. This is not at all a critic, I love your service, but I was wondering if the french version was still "in developpement".

Cheers!

Thanks a lot for your comments.

The French module is indeed much less developed than the english one: the main issue is that for now it only contains main entities (as opposed to the english one, which contains a lot of entities and a lot of events and facts). Moreover, french entities themselves are less "matured" than their english equivalents., and this is also a matter of time and usage volume. 

In any case, we would like to take a look at some of the examples that you see as erroneous, so if you can provide us with some documents - it can be great.
