README

A PHP library for detecting the language of a piece of text. Both Latin and non-Latin languages are supported. An ISO-639-1 language code and a % confidence are returned. In the event that a language is unable to be detected, null is returned for the language code.

A Python-based service daemon must be installed in order to detect Latin languages. The installer supports both SystemV and Upstart for running the daemon.

Installation

composer install sudo vendor/bin/install-ldig.sh install

OR

composer install sudo vendor/bin/install-ldig.sh install upstart

Usage

$detector = GMO\LanguageDetection\Detector();
$language = $detector->detect('Bienvenidos');
$languageCode = $language->getCode();       // "es"
$confidence = $language->getConfidence();       // 0.999999

ldig

Latin-based language detection is based on the ldig library.

I got the ldig code from: https://github.com/shuyo/ldig I created the scripts ldig/detect.py and ldig/detectServer.py based on the code in ldig/ldig.py and ldig/server.py . These scripts are to make it more practical for everyday use

TODO:

• Add uninstaller for libs/ldig/install-ldig.sh
• Add more testcases
