guess_language-spirit 0.5a5

Guess the natural language of a text

Example usage

>>> from guess_language import guess_language
>>> guess_language("Ces eaux regorgent de renégats et de voleurs.")
'fr'
>>> guess_language("Tienes que seguir tu corazón.")
'es'
>>> guess_language("いいえ！忍者がいます")
'ja'

If your text is less than 20 characters long, you need PyEnchant and the appropriate dictionaries installed:

>>> guess_language("Hello, World!")
'en'
