Usage

Detect language

DetectLanguage.detect('Dolce far niente')

Result

[{"language" => "it", "score" => 0.5074}]

Detect single code

If you need just a language code you can use detect_code.

DetectLanguage.detect_code('Dolce far niente')

Result

"it"

Batch detection

It is possible to detect language of several texts with one request. This method is significantly faster than doing one request per text. To use batch detection just pass array of texts to detect_batch method.

DetectLanguage.detect_batch(['Dolce far niente', 'Labas rytas'])

Result

Result is array of detections in the same order as the texts were passed.

[[{"language" => "it", "score" => 0.5074}], [{"language" => "lt", "score" => 0.3063}]]
