Hello @Djamel Ziane

Yes, the Azure Healthcare Text Analytics service supports German language. You can use the Text Analytics API with the "de" language code to analyze German text.

The Healthcare Text Analytics service provides pre-built models specifically designed for analyzing clinical and medical text, including electronic health records, medical literature, and other healthcare-related documents. The service can perform tasks such as entity recognition, sentiment analysis, and key phrase extraction, which can be useful for a variety of healthcare use cases.

To use the Healthcare Text Analytics service with German text, you can send a request to the Text Analytics API with the "de" language code specified in the language parameter. Here is an example request using the Text Analytics API in C#

// Replace with your Text Analytics API endpoint and subscription key
string endpoint = "https://<your-api-endpoint>.cognitiveservices.azure.com/";
string subscriptionKey = "<your-subscription-key>";

// Replace with your German text to analyze
string text = "Ein Mann geht spazieren in einem Park.";

// Create a Text Analytics client
var client = new TextAnalyticsClient(new Uri(endpoint), new AzureKeyCredential(subscriptionKey));

// Analyze the German text
var result = await client.AnalyzeSentimentAsync(text, "de");

// Display the sentiment score
Console.WriteLine($"Sentiment score: {result.Value.SentimentScore}");

This example analyzes the sentiment of German text and displays the sentiment score. You can modify this example to perform other text analysis tasks using the Text Analytics API.

Hello Djamel,

It looks like German is supported for Text Analytics for health:

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/cognitive-services/language-service/text-analytics-for-health/language-support#hosted-api-service

The hosted API service supports English language, model version 03-01-2022. Additional languages, English, Spanish, French, German Italian, Portuguese and Hebrew are supported with model version 2022-08-15-preview.

When structuring the API request, the relevant language tags must be added for these languages:

Example (change es to de):

json

{
    "analysisInput": {
        "documents": [
            {
                "text": "El médico prescrió 200 mg de ibuprofeno.",
                "language": "es",
                "id": "1"
            }
        ]
    },
    "tasks": [
        {
            "taskName": "analyze 1",
            "kind": "Healthcare",
            "parameters":
            {
            "modelVersion": "2022-08-15-preview"
            }
        }
    ]
}
