title: POS tagging in German
body: <p>I am using NLTK to extract nouns from a text-string starting with the following command:</p>
  
  <pre><code>tagged_text = nltk.pos_tag(nltk.Text(nltk.word_tokenize(some_string)))
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>It works fine in English. <strong>Is there an easy way to make it work for German as well?</strong> </p>
  
  <p>(I have no experience with natural language programming, but I managed to use the python nltk library which is great so far.)</p>
