#Detect Language This little library can be trained to detect different languages by dropping arbitary text files in the corresponding languages into the "lang" directory.

The actual language detection is performed by the babel gem, which is based on the n-gram approach by Cavnar and Trenkle.

Quickstart

git clone https://github.com/skorfmann/detect-language.git
cd detect-language
bundle install
bundle exec rspec
./bin/detect-language ./lang/gaelic.1
=> detected language: gaelic

Detect language of a file

Use one of the training files for example:

bin/detect-language ./lang/german.1
=> detected language: german

Run the specs

bundle exec rspec
