I am trying to filter out non English words out of the dictionary and add only English words back with python but I have no idea how to do so

Question

import enchant

df1 = pd.read_excel (r'C:\Users\teeny\OneDrive - Singapore Institute Of Technology\SIT\1002 programming fundamentals\Data Cleaner project\Data Cleaner project\Cleaned Data.xlsx')

dict ={}
dict = df1

d = enchant.Dict("en_US")
for words in dict:
    d.check(words)  

Answer 1

It would be good to know what your Excel file looks like. For now, I assumed that you have a list of words, in my code word_list. This list contains all words. Then use an empty list to add all English words. In a loop, you go through your list word for word and check if it is English. You get back a Boolean. If this boolean is True, add the current word to the list. You could also write:

if d.check(word) == True:

But the code at the bottom is shorter.

import enchant

word_list = ['Hello', 'way', 'Backfisch']
english_word_list = []

d = enchant.Dict("en_US")

for word in word_list:
    if d.check(word):
        english_word_list.append(word)

print(english_word_list)
