Great work! UK charity The Society for Computers and Law is running a hackathon with the ICO in June in case anyone is interested in helping bring more tech to GDPR. Details at https://www.scl.org

This is nice. Though it’s worth pointing out to UX folks that flags are not languages. http://www.flagsarenotlanguages.com/blog/why-flags-do-not-re...

Although I agree flags are not languages in the case of English different variants are recognized, so if you used an American Flag as your language indicator I would expect I would see a site written in EN-US and would only be confused if color were written as colour.

I went in and searched for children, so I can see there is not even English language stemming going on - which I mean that is the most common language to find a stemmer from in my experience.

I used to work for Thomson Reuters on their legal services products and while it is nice seeing something like this outside of a paid for service it's not that impressive. Maybe I'm jaded but from the comments here I was expecting to say 'wow, that is cool' and not immediately find that stemming didn't work.

on edit: fixed misspelling, formatting
