title: Is nltk wordnet lemmatizer language independent?
body: <p>Is it true that <a href="http://www.nltk.org/_modules/nltk/stem/wordnet.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">nltk's wordnet lemmatizer</a> does not depend on the language of the input text ? Would I use the same sequence of commands:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&gt;&gt;&gt; from nltk.stem import WordNetLemmatizer
  &gt;&gt;&gt; wnl = WordNetLemmatizer()
  &gt;&gt;&gt; print(wnl.lemmatize('dogs'))
  dog
  &gt;&gt;&gt; print(wnl.lemmatize('churches'))
  church
  &gt;&gt;&gt; print(wnl.lemmatize('aardwolves'))
  aardwolf
  &gt;&gt;&gt; print(wnl.lemmatize('abaci'))
  abacus
  &gt;&gt;&gt; print(wnl.lemmatize('hardrock'))
  hardrock
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>for both english and french for instance ?</p>
