What exactly needs to be changed to add a language?
I'm thinking about adding German.

If it's just a matter of translating the build/AFINN.json file: Wouldn't it be better to keep it all in one project instead of forking it? And then adding an API call so the user can set the language when loading the library.

@Ekliptor Good question. I think in order to feel good about adding an additional language I think we would need the translated build/AFINN.json file plus a labeled corpora (such as the labeled dataset we have of Amazon, IMDB, and Yelp reviews from UCI) that permit us to evaluate the accuracy of those translations.
