An exception is thrown there which you cannot recover from. So just abort
and make sure that all the required libraries are accessible.

If Google Translate is correct then the English translation of this message is:

"Can not find specified module."

The OWL Verbalizer requires the following SWI-Prolog packages:

clib (provides memfile, socket, time, etc.),
sgml (provides XML support),
http (provides http_stream, etc.).

I would expect that the SWI-Prolog Windows installer has installed all of them
for you already.

So, you either do not have these packages installed (unlikely),
or lack an environment variable pointing to these libraries.

Can you send me the directory listing of the SWI-Prolog libraries' directory,
i.e. the directory where you copied the libpl.dll etc. from?
E.g. on a Linux machine, this directory contains the following shared libraries
(given that clib, sgml, and http are installed):

cgi.so
crypt.so
files.so
http_stream.so
json.so
libjpl.so
libpl.so
memfile.so
mime.so
process.so
random.so
readutil.so
rlimit.so
sgml2pl.so
sha4pl.so
socket.so
streaminfo.so
time.so
unix.so

In your case, instead of the extension ".so", the extension is ".dll".

Now, if you have the same files on your machine, then it means that all the
required libraries are there. Then either copy all of them to the OWL Verbalizer
directory (this is an ugly solution), or reference this libraries'
directory using
some environment variable, maybe PATH, maybe LD_LIBRARIES_PATH,
I have no idea how these things work on Windows. :(
