I suggest updating the link, pointing it to Stopwords ISO project

[guimachiavelli]

Thanks for opening the issue, @mdubus, and thanks for the suggestion, @endelwar!

I was not familiar with Stopwords ISO, but it does look pretty good at first glance. @ManyTheFish, as our resident locale expert, do you have an opinion or preference? My initial idea was to direct people to whatever python's NLTK uses, but it's a bit too anglocentric for our uses.

gently pinging @ManyTheFish 🙇

[ManyTheFish]

Hey @guimachiavelli, I am sorry for missing these notifications, the link suggested by @endelwar looks good to me if we speak about stopwords. Moreover, there are plenty of languages here.

The downside of this project is that there is only one maintainer, so we could face the same issue as with the previous link.

Sorry again for the big delays! 😞 🙏 😞

I've opened PR #3296 to fix this issue.

@ManyTheFish I agree the project is not very active, but I believe an accessible, even if semi-inactive, repository is still better than linking to a 404 error page. It also provides a solid multilingual base for most common use cases.

Let me know if any changes are needed — happy to adjust the PR if needed!
