A Python port of Google's language-detection library that identifies the language of text, supporting 55 languages via ISO 639-1 codes. It provides deterministic and probabilistic detection with configurable seeding for consistent results.
Use cases
- detect what language a piece of text is written in
- identify the language of user comments or reviews
- get probability scores for the top candidate languages of a text
- filter or route documents by language in a processing pipeline
- detect language of short strings in Python
When to choose
- you need simple, lightweight language identification in Python
- you need support for 55 common languages out of the box
- you want probability rankings across candidate languages
When to avoid
- you need high accuracy on very short or ambiguous text
- you need fast, actively developed state-of-the-art detection (consider fastText or lingua)
- you need languages beyond the 55 supported profiles
