Polyglot-Based Word Frequency Calculator

This function uses the Polyglot library to calculate the frequency of words in a given text and returns a dictionary containing words and their frequencies. It first downloads the necessary models for the specified language, then creates a Polyglot Text object, and finally retrieves the word frequencies from it.
