Python NLP British English vs American English

I'm currently working on NLP in python. However, in my corpus, there are both British and American English(realize/realise) I'm thinking to convert British to American. However, I did not find a good tool/package to do that. Any suggestions?

I've not been able to find a package either, but try this:

(Note that I've had to trim the us2gb dictionary substantially for it to fit within the Stack Overflow character limit - you'll have to rebuild this yourself).

# Based on Shengy's code:
# http://stackoverflow.com/questions/18840640/python-2-7-find-and-replace-from-text-file-using-dictionary-to-new-text-file

def replace_all(text, mydict):
    for gb, us in mydict.items():
        text = text.replace(us, gb)
    return text

# List of d differences taken from:
# http://www.tysto.com/uk-us-spelling-list.html
#
# key/value pairs can be added if required

gb_text = "I realise I can see the world in colour but I can't vocalise its splendour"
us_text = replace_all(gb_text, us2gb)
print ("GB:", gb_text)
print ("----------------------------------------------------------------------------")
print ("US:", us_text)

This will output:

# OUTPUT
# >>> GB: I realise I can see the world in colour but I can't vocalise its splendour
# >>> ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
# >>> US: I realize I can see the world in color but I can't vocalize its splendor

Bear in mind that the Oxford variety of British English also uses -ize suffixes, so it's not simply a case of -ize being American and -ise being British.

There's a good article here that explores the intricacies:
