Enterprise Security:

from codeswitch_ai import (
    PrivacyProtector, SecurityMonitor, InputValidator, 
    ModelSecurityAuditor, PrivacyLevel, SecurityConfig
)

# Initialize security components
privacy_protector = PrivacyProtector(
    config=PrivacyConfig(privacy_level=PrivacyLevel.HIGH)
)
security_monitor = SecurityMonitor(log_file='security_audit.log')
input_validator = InputValidator(config=SecurityConfig(security_level='strict'))
model_auditor = ModelSecurityAuditor()

# Secure text processing pipeline
def secure_process_text(text: str, user_id: str) -> dict:
    # 1. Input validation and sanitization
    validation = input_validator.validate(text)
    if not validation.is_valid:
        return {'error': 'Invalid input', 'threats': validation.threats_detected}
    
    # 2. Privacy protection (PII detection/anonymization)
    privacy_result = privacy_protector.protect_text(validation.sanitized_text)
    
    # 3. Security monitoring
    events = security_monitor.process_request(
        source_id='text_processing',
        request_data={'text_size': len(text)},
        user_id=user_id
    )

else:
    print(f"Security issues detected: {[i.value for i in result.issues_detected]}")

Extending Language Support:

from codeswitch_ai import FastTextDetector

# Extend FastText with custom patterns
detector = FastTextDetector()

# Add custom language patterns
detector.lang_code_mapping.update({

})

# Add preprocessing for specific scripts
def custom_preprocessing(text):
    # Your custom preprocessing logic
    return processed_text

detector._preprocess_text = custom_preprocessing

Performance Optimization:

# Batch processing for high throughput
texts = ["Text 1", "Text 2", "Text 3", ...]
results = detector.detect_languages_batch(texts, user_languages=["en", "es"])

# Memory-efficient processing
import os
os.environ['TOKENIZERS_PARALLELISM'] = 'false'  # Avoid warnings

    def __init__(self, model_path: str):
        super().__init__()
        self.model = self.load_custom_model(model_path)
    
    def detect_language(self, text: str, user_languages=None) -> DetectionResult:
        # Your custom neural detection logic
        predictions = self.model.predict(text)
        
        return DetectionResult(
            detected_languages=[predictions['language']],
