Thanks to all who answered my question concerning previous attempts
at training Brill's tagger for other languages other than English and for
giving me information about Spanish taggers.

Some of the ones who replied asked me to summarize to the list the responses
I got for Brill's tagger, so there it goes:

French: on a Swedish corpus with 80 000 words for the Stockolm-Umea Corpus
in order to provide a tagger for swedish to be used for educational purposes
at Goeteborg University. The results were satisfactory. Also I had a few
responses from people having trained Brill's tagger for French.
For both cases it seems that with a large pre-tagged corpus the results
are satisfactory.
