Language Detector

About

This project is a language detector based on the N-Gram-Based Text Categorization algorithm.. It can detect the language of a given text string.

Installation

To install this package, run the following command:

go get -u github.com/gobylor/langdetect

Usage

simple case

func main() {
	text := "An n-gram is a sequence of n adjacent symbols in particular order." +
		"The symbols may be n adjacent letters (including punctuation ma" +
		"rks and blanks), syllables, or rarely whole words found in a language dataset"
	detect := langdetect.Detect(text)
	log.Printf("Detected language: %s\n", detect.Lang)
}

Detect With Options

func main() {
	text := "An n-gram is a sequence of n adjacent symbols in particular order." +
		"The symbols may be n adjacent letters (including punctuation ma" +
		"rks and blanks), syllables, or rarely whole words found in a language dataset"

	options := []langdetect.Option{
		langdetect.WithWhitelist(langdetect.Eng),
	}
    detect := langdetect.Detect(text, options...)
	log.Printf("Detected language: %s\n", detect.Lang)

	options = []langdetect.Option{
		langdetect.WithBlacklist(langdetect.Eng),
	}
	detect = langdetect.Detect(text, options...)
	log.Printf("Detected language: %s\n", detect.Lang)
	

	options = []langdetect.Option{
		langdetect.WithReliableConfidenceThreshold(0.25),
	}
	detect = langdetect.Detect(text, options...)
	log.Printf("Detected language: %s\n", detect.Lang)
}
