Many videos have the wrong language

[lfaucon]

For example:

• "I-n2OU78Ck8" is French, but Tournesol thinks it is English
• "Ms153kckhkQ" is French, but tournesol thinks it is German

Would Youtube provide more reliable information here ?

Yes same for:

• "ARAQUgkdIvQ" is French, but Tournesol thinks it is English
• "F7YlkbhYq3s" is French, but Tournesol thinks it is English

Also the "langdetect" gives very strange and not consistent results when there is a mix of two languages:

with the code:

from langdetect import detect,detect_langs

t = 'This is fromage, baguette et croissant and also you can imagine ça pourrait être english or french'
for i in range (6):
    print('Test ',i)
    print(detect_langs(t))
    print(detect(t))

It gives:
