py-language-guesser

First little Python project for school purposes. It guesses the language of the given text
It guesses the language of the text contained in textStatIn.txt

What is the purpose of the .js file?

decode.js is used to generate an object from a Wikipedia article that contains letters frequency by language (https://wikipedia.org/Letter_Frequency)

How does it work

Given a certain percentage of all the letters in a text (and using the file langs.json which has been generated through decode.js) the script can guess the language in which the text is written.
Example:

  • The 8% of the letters in an English text is averagely "a"s, the 1% is "b"s and so on...
  • Using this kind of logic the script can guess the language.
