🧠 Language Detector (Python)

A simple yet enhanced Python tool that automatically detects the language of any text using the langdetect library. You can input a single text or scan an entire file — the program will identify each language detected!

✨ Features

✅ Detects over 55+ languages ✅ Supports single text or file input ✅ Can export results to JSON or CSV ✅ Command-line interface with flexible arguments ✅ Lightweight, fast, and beginner-friendly ✅ Built entirely with pure Python

⚙️ Installation

Install the required dependency:

pip install langdetect

Clone this repository (if you haven’t yet):

git clone https://github.com/Coder-dev2006/language-detection.git cd language-detection

🚀 Usage 🧾 Option 1: Single text detection

Run from terminal:

python main.py -t "Bonjour tout le monde"

Output:

Detected: fr / French — top: fr(0.9999)

📂 Option 2: Detect languages in a text file

Create a file named texts.txt:

Hello world Привет мир Salom dunyo Hola mundo

Then run:

python main.py -f texts.txt --csv results.csv

Output example:

Detected 4 lines, exported to results.csv ✅
