Python code to generate text using a pretrained character-based RNN

Could this be used to generate place names in like this https://medium.com/@hondanhon/i-trained-a-neural-net-to-gene... but with a different language? Or would that need a different training set?

The pretrained network is calibrated for English, but if you trained it on non-English data it should still work fine since the entire network is retrained (assuming there is enough overlap with characters in the vocabulary; e.g. Spanish would work fine but CJK languages would not).

Thanks! I love the textgenrnn_vocab.json easter egg by the way :)
