## What it is
Polyglot is a Python natural language processing toolkit designed for massive multilingual applications, offering language detection, tokenization, named entity recognition, and other text pipelines across many languages. It is distributed on PyPI under the GPLv3 license.

## Use cases
- detect the language of a text snippet
- tokenize text in dozens of languages
- extract named entities from multilingual documents
- run NLP pipelines on non-English corpora
- transliterate text between scripts
- count syllables and analyze morphology in multiple languages

## When to choose
- you need NLP support for many languages in one library
- you want lightweight language detection without heavy models
- you need multilingual tokenization or NER in Python

## When to avoid
- you need state-of-the-art accuracy on a single language
- you want actively developed tooling with frequent updates
- you need a permissive license (it is GPLv3)
- you prefer transformer-based NLP pipelines

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: maintenance
- function: nlp, parser
- domain: machine-learning
- platform: python, cross-platform
- tags: multilingual, language-detection, tokenization, named-entity-recognition, morphology, text-processing, natural-language-processing, localization
