When a new language is added, it need to get some initial training set of words. This is done by crawling the web and collecting language specific words. Currently this is done with a simple wget script but this requires multiple levels of crawling and organizing data. To address this,

1 - Create a crawler which reads a simple text file specifying the URLs to crawl
2 - Crawl the data and access only words which are in the needed language. Basic language detection can be done using libvarnam or manually checking for the Unicode code point range.
3 - Segregate the words according to the frequency and generate text files which can be used as the initial training set.

There should be an options to specify which words should not be treated for frequency calculation for each URLs. This is required to avoid the site's name or owners name gets more precedence than the actual content which we are crawling.
