How To Do Chinese Character Text Analytics such as Extract Key Phrases

[Kevin_Yang]

I need to analyze some Chinese Characters, the content is the description of some issues. The language can be detected as simplified Chinese when I use Detect Language function in the Text Analytics function. However, the result is null when I use Extract key phrases function. Can anyone help me with this issue? Thanks in advance !!!

Hi , @Kevin_Yang 

According to your description, you want to use the "extract Key Phrases from Text" in Power Query , it seems it need to put the table as a parameter to get the keyword, you can refer to this document to check if it may miss something:
Power BI and Microsoft Cognitive Services to extract Key Phrases from Text (theexcelclub.com)

Thank you for your time and sharing, and thank you for your support and understanding of PowerBI!

Hi Aniya,

Thanks for you reply. I tried for doing the exactly same analysis for English, it works fine. But it won't work when I do the same analysis for Simplfied Chinese. Do you have any suggestion on this matter? 

Thanks,

Hi , @Kevin_Yang 

I test in my side ,the "Extract key phrases" function in the Text Analytics API only supports limited languages, and Chinese is not currently one of them. 

It seems just for this language , you can try to  find another text analysis API that specifically supports Chinese language.

Thank you for your time and sharing, and thank you for your support and understanding of PowerBI!
