Lingua is a Go library for highly accurate natural language detection, supporting 75 languages. It works well on short and mixed-language text using rule-based and statistical methods, entirely offline.

Use cases

• detect the language of a tweet or short text snippet
• identify languages in mixed-language text
• preprocess text for NLP classification pipelines
• route customer emails by language
• detect language of single words or phrases
• add offline language identification to a Go application

When to choose

• you need accurate detection on short text like tweets or single words
• you need offline detection without external APIs
• you work in Go and need support for many languages
• your text may mix multiple languages

When to avoid

• you need to detect languages outside the supported 75
• you need a library in a language other than Go
• you need extremely lightweight detection where model size matters more than accuracy
