    Dear all,

    I was looking for some simple tool (preferable in Python) which
    is able to do automatic conversion of texts (or words) from
    British English (UK) to American (US) English and vice versa.
    (Example: realize <-> realise)

    This seems to be an easy task, but I could not find any ready to use
    stand alone tool capable of performing this task.

    I want to integrate this application into an Information extraction system
    which handles scientific literature.

    I am also interested in references where aspects related to US/UK English
    spelling has been analyzed in the context of information extraction, text
    mining and terminology extraction.

    Best regards,

    Martin
