print(detect("ciao mondo")) # ('it', 0.9)
print(detect("El gato doméstico")) # ('es', 0.45)
# Optionally, specify a subset of languages to consider
print(detect("ciao", languages=["de", "ro"])) # ('de', 0.45)

Limitations
This detector was designed for handling small texts (< 150 characters). It will probably not work reliably for longer text sequences. As it relies on dictionaries, if a word is missing or misspelled, the detection will fail.
Contributing
If you want to add a new language, or improve an existing one, add more words to the respective dictionary in the dictionaries folder.
