French not treated as possible language for character 'â'

[bdecarne]

Hello !

Look at this example : the result should be Language.FRENCH without any doubt, but it's Language.UNKNOWN :

LanguageDetector detector = LanguageDetectorBuilder.fromLanguages(Language.ENGLISH, Language.FRENCH).build();
Language detectedLanguage = detector.detectLanguageOf("Découverte du château grâce à l'application visite virtuelle");
assertEquals(Language.FRENCH, detectedLanguage);

Expected :FRENCH
Actual   :UNKNOWN

Thank you for this report, @bdecarne. This is actually a bug in the rule-based filter engine which is supposed to classify the character â as a possible indicator for French. Unfortunately, I missed to include French as a possible language for this character. This is easy to fix and I will do that soon.
