Examples with text/datasets in other languages

Hi,

I would like to see the book with examples of QA, Text Extraction, Semantic and etc, using other languages besides english too.

Reference Frameworks out of dat

One of the frustrations with the exampes in the book is that they require a particular version of the various frameworks used. I normally allow for this when I buy a book and try to convert the examples so that they work with the latest versions of the frameworks. The learning from the process is normally very useful. I have really struggled to do this with the examples in Chapter 3 for Elmo and Bert. I know kaggle references are provided using the relevant versions of the frameworks, but I have even struggled to get those to run both in Kaggle and in virtual enviroments on my machine. It would be nice to have a migration guide that provides some examples of how these projects could be migrated to current versions of Tensorflow and Keras. I know this is a tall order, but without it the book appears rooted in the past and has limited value.

Which framework will the book use?

I see tensorflow, pytorch, spacy, allennlp and thinc, etc. In the requirements.txt will you be focusing on one framework or will you use multiple frameworks?
