Page Analysis is not correct with Cyrillic alphabet - not counting in the first paragraph and keyword density

[todorchrisov]

Hi Yoast!

Today I finally installed WordPress SEO and it is great except one thing - the Page Analysis is not working correctly with Cyrillic alphabet.

More specifically:

1. "The keyword doesn't appear in the first paragraph of the copy, make sure the topic is clear immediately." - not true. It is there 2 times. The very first word of the first paragraph is the keyword, followed by another mention in the first paragraph.
2. "The keyword density is 0%, which is a bit low, the keyword was found 19 times." - not true. The keyword was found 19 times in a text with 355 words and that is around 4-5%.

Is there something I could do in the settings of the plugin to fix this?

My blog is in Bulgarian language.

Best regards,

Todor

@todorchrisov Could you provide me with some example texts and keyword combinations for me to test with ?

[jrfnl]

Based on the sample texts I received here and in some related issues, I have made some small improvements to the keyword density calculation for non-latin, non-ideograph based languages by means of commit 97d0973.
Hopefully that will yield more consistent results. The changes are included in the the v1.5 branch. You will need to re-download the branch if you want to test the changes.

Related issues: #703, #681, #349, #264 and #145.

Would you be willing to test this yourself ? You can download the v1.5 branch here in GitHub. Please do make a backup of the database before testing and don't test in a production/live environment.

met the same problem, also I can add that "prevent stop words" in links doesn't work with Cyrillic

I'm not great with testing for cyrillic, but I think we fixed a lot of this. Could someone do some testing here?

I've tested current version with some cyrillic content. The count works correctly. The first paragraph thing now has opposite issue — page analysis says keyword is found in first paragraph, even when it's not in it.

Closing as text analysis engine had been replaced since.
