This project was created to provide language-detection features to the Norconex Importer project. The Importer project now uses Apache Tika built-in language-detection capabilities instead.
Detects languages out of any text (50+ languages supported).
At the moment, it is mainly a wrapper around the great "language-detection" library from Nakatani Shuyo, with some additions:
- It allows concurrent detectors with different language profiles initializations on the same JVM.
- It offers different ways to initialize the language profiles (as input streams, from classpath, etc).
Original Shuyo language-detection project is hosted at: https://code.google.com/p/language-detection. You can find a fork of that project on github at: https://github.com/Norconex/language-detection
