Hi,
I love learning tidytext but was a bit surprised to see that the get_sentiments() function does not allow to use the non-english translations included within the Nov 2017 nrc lexicon v.092 xlsx file used by tidytext(english words are in column A, and are translated in dozens of languages from columns B to DA while DB to DK list the polarity and sentiment scores for each word). It would be amazing to add an argument to define which language (column) to use from the nrc lexicon i.e lang="French".
Thanks,
Leonard
