Its task is simple: It tells you which language some text is written in. This is very useful as a preprocessing step for linguistic data in natural language processing applications such as text classification and spell checking. Other use cases, for instance, might include routing e-mails to the right geographically located customer service department, based on the e-mails' languages. Language detection is often done as part of large machine learning frameworks or natural language processing applications. In cases where you don't need the full-fledged functionality of those systems or don't want to learn the ropes of those, a small flexible library comes in handy.

Features

  • Supports over 75 languages with high accuracy
  • Works with short text inputs for reliable detection
  • Uses statistical models instead of dictionaries
  • Open-source and easy to integrate with Python applications
  • Allows confidence scoring for multiple language probabilities
  • Optimized for performance and efficiency
